World War I: (Ch. 22-25, plus Ch. 11) Socratic Circle READING assignments Unit I: America as a World Power • What considerations should guide the development of American foreign policy? • When should the United States go to war? • What responsibilities do people with power have to those people who have less power? Our focus is our nation’s growth into a major world power. We’ll examine the roots of American global expansion, foreign policy ideologies (pragmatism, expansionism, isolationism, & interventionism), the Open Door Policy, the Spanish-American War, the construction of the Panama Canal, and America's involvement in the “Great War.” Did our growth help or hinder the American ideals? Ch. 10: America Claims an Empire 1. Name any two of the three factors that shaped American imperialism. American imperialism was shaped by economic competition for raw materials and new markets, political and military competition for power, and an ideology that considered English culture superior to others. 2. Identify a former Spanish colony and BREIFLY explain how the US gained control of it. The United States entered a war against Spain in 1898 and won Puerto Rico. It also purchased the Philippines and took a dominant role in Cuba. 3. List & describe one example of how the US administered its newfound territories. Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States, which chose its government. In Cuba, the United States secured passage of a new constitution that gave it the right to step in if it desired. In the Philippines, the United States fought Filipinos seeking to win full independence. 4. Describe one way that President Theodore Roosevelt asserted American power. Roosevelt asserted American power by leading negotiations to end a war between Russia and Japan, by sending a fleet around the world, and by helping Panama win independence so the United States could build the Panama Canal. foreign policy • the set of goals, principles, and practices that guide a nation in its relations with other countries. • realists and idealists shaped American foreign policy during the 1800s. • What would guide your “foreign policy” doctrine? Pragmatism? Idealism? Both? Other? Regarding war & expansionism, what would you do? diplomacy • the art of conducting negotiations with other nations. • Diplomacy may lead to informal agreements as well as treaties. • A second tool is financial aid in the form of grants or loans. Such aid can be used to support friendly nations or influence their policies. • A third tool is the threat or the use of armed force. realism • in foreign policy, the belief that international relations should be guided by pragmatic selfinterest-practical goals such as national defense and access to resources • From this perspective, foreign policy should pursue practical objectives that benefit the American people. Such objectives might include national security, increased trade with other nations, and access to overseas resources. idealism • in foreign policy, the belief that moral values should influence international relations • From this point of view, foreign policy should be used to promote America's founding ideals—particularly democracy, liberty, and rights—to ensure a better world not just for Americans, but for all people. More terms foreign policy terms • neutrality: the policy of not taking sides in wars between other nations • unilateralism: a policy of not seeking military or political alliances with foreign powers • Under this policy, the United States "went it alone" in its relations with other countries. It did not seek either military or political alliances with foreign powers. More terms foreign policy terms • Monroe Doctrine: the declaration by President James Monroe in 1823 warning European powers against future colonization in the Western Hemisphere or interference in Latin American republics • Roosevelt added a “corollary” More terms foreign policy terms • cede: to give up or grant land to another country, typically by treaty • imperialism: empire building • protectorate: a nation protected and controlled by a stronger nation The.

Ch. 19: Setting a Course of Expansionism • During the 1800s, U.S. foreign policy was guided by two goals. The first was to keep the United States free of foreign alliances and out of foreign conflicts. The second was to expand the United States across the North American continent. As Americans began to look outward in the late 1800s, they debated the nation's proper role in world affairs. • Realism and idealism U.S. foreign policy is generally a blend of realism and idealism. With realism, the focus is on practical concerns and national selfinterest. With idealism, the focus is on moral values and the spread of American ideals. • Neutrality and unilateralism Following the advice given by Washington in his Farewell Address, the United States tried to stay neutral in foreign wars and avoid alliances with other countries. The War of 1812 was fought in part to defend American rights as a neutral nation. • The Monroe Doctrine The Monroe Doctrine warned European powers that the United States would view efforts to establish colonies in the Americas or interfere with new Latin American republics as hostile to its interests. • Continental expansion Following a policy of expansion through diplomacy, the United States acquired the Louisiana Territory, Florida, Oregon Territory, and Alaska. By winning the Mexican War, it gained vast lands in the Southwest. • Overseas expansion In the late 1800s, the United States began to look overseas for new territory and influence. At the same time, Americans began to debate the role and value of overseas expansion. Ch. 20: The Spanish-America War • As a result of its victory in the Spanish-American War, the United States became a world power with overseas possessions. In the eyes of many, the United States had become an imperialist nation. • Cuban revolt Cubans rose up against Spanish rule in the late 1800s, and many were imprisoned in reconcentration camps. Many Americans sympathized with the Cubans' plight. • Role of the press American newspapers exaggerated stories about the Cuban revolt to play on American sympathies and sell papers. Yellow journalism helped push the country toward war. • The de Lôme Letter and the USS Maine Two incidents increased tensions between the United States and Spain. A letter from the Spanish ambassador criticizing President McKinley, followed by the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor, incited American anger. • A "splendid little war" After negotiations failed, Congress declared war on Spain. The war, which lasted just four months, began in the Philippines and ended in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Many volunteers fought with the U.S. forces, including Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders. The most important battle of the war took place on San Juan Hill, outside Santiago. • Arguing over imperialism The Treaty of Paris recognized the U.S. victory and left the United States in possession of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Members of the Anti-Imperialist League spoke out against the treaty, but it was eventually ratified by the Senate. • Cuba and the Platt Amendment Although the Treaty of Paris granted independence to Cuba, the United States maintained control over the island. The Platt Amendment allowed the United States to intervene in Cuban affairs and establish military bases in Cuba. Ch. 21: Acquiring and Managing Global Power • At the start of the 20th century, the United States was an imperialist nation with overseas possessions. Three presidents—Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson— developed foreign policies designed to expand American power and protect American interests. • Roosevelt Corollary President Roosevelt followed the Big Stick Policy in foreign affairs. In 1904, he issued the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. This policy called on the United States to use "international police power" to promote order and security in the Western Hemisphere. The use of force became a key element of foreign policy. • Dollar Diplomacy President Taft's Dollar Diplomacy focused on economic goals overseas. He emphasized the spread of American influence through economic activity. But he also sent troops to protect American interests. • Moral Diplomacy President Wilson favored a moral approach to foreign policy. He wanted to spread democratic ideals overseas. Yet he also used force to uphold American interests. • Latin America The United States became deeply involved in Latin America in the early 1900s. It helped Panama gain independence and built the Panama Canal. It intervened in Mexico. It made Puerto Rico a U.S. possession. • Asia and the Pacific The Philippines became a U.S. possession, and the United States put down an independence movement there. It annexed Hawaii after white planters overthrew the native monarchy. In China, it applied its Open Door Policy to limit foreign control and maintain access to Chinese markets.
