Unit 8: Progressivism/Imperialism/World War I
Chapters 17-19
As the United States entered the 20th century, major issues loomed at home and overseas. At home, American
grew increasingly dissatisfied with government corruption, business monopolies, and the struggles of the poor.
This dissatisfaction led to a movement called the Progressive Movement. This progressive movement worked
for various reforms in government, business, and society. As it reformed at home, the United States set off to
expand into other parts of the world. This American imperialism which was driven by economic and political
concerns was aided by a new form of journalism called “yellow journalism.” While America focused on
helping its own people, Europe fell into a devastating war that eventually involved the United States. This unit
studies the people and the event of this era.
