In June 1898, American forces landed in Cuba. American forces begin to converge on the port city of Santiago. The army consisted of 17, 000 soldiers, including four African-American regiments (called Buffalo soldiers) of regular army and the volunteer Rough Riders, a cavalry unit. The key to capturing the city of Santiago was controlling the high grounds of San Juan Hill. http: //www. veteranmuseum. org/images/cuba-landing. jpg
On the way to secure San Juan Hill, a bloody and dramatic charge took place on nearby Kettle Hill. Without direct orders, Teddy Roosevelt, the Rough Riders, and two African-American regiments attacked and took Kettle Hill. http: //www. army. mil/cmh-pg/documents/spanam/Rrid 1. jpg

Political Cartoon: American Imperialism The cartoon displays Uncle Sam showing off in front of other world powers, while balancing the “primitives” of its newly acquired territories. . . Notice the racial tone and arrogance of the political cartoon. http: //history. grand-forks. k 12. nd. us/NDhistory/Lesson. Images/Sources/Cartoons/john%20 bull. jpg
The U. S. insisted that Cuba add to its new Constitution, the Platt Amendment, commanding Cuba to stay out of debt and giving U. S. the right to intervene in the country and the right to buy or lease Cuban land for naval and fueling stations.

American Expansionism & the Panama Canal
Imperialism Defined as the domination of one country by another. European imperialists had seized vast territories in Africa and Asia. Many Americans felt that the moment was now right for U. S. imperialism. With the closing of the American frontier, the nation continued its expansion overseas. http: //asms. k 12. ar. us/classes/humanities/worldstud/97 -98/imper/Philippines/USA. HTM
Some advocates argued that since the United States was now an industrial power, colonies could provide needed raw materials for American factories and a guaranteed market of U. S. manufacturers. http: //www. jackdaw. com/pc-282 -65 -american-imperialism. aspx
Others saw colonial expansion as a way of showing that the United States was a great nation, arguing the country should grab a few colonies before nothing was left. Inspired by Manifest Destiny. http: //en. dcdatabaseproject. com/Image: Uncle_Sam_BNW_1. jpg
In particular, these voices favored American control of the Caribbean, building a canal through Panama, and the acquisition of islands in the Pacific as coaling stations for ships trading with Asia. http: //www. canalmuseum. com/
Opponents felt that imperialism violated America’s democratic principles. They reminded citizens that America was also once a colony and had fought a war with Great Britain to break the chains of imperialism. http: //upload. wikimedia. org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Washington_Crossing_the_Delaware. png
During these Imperialist years, the United States acquired a colonial empire in the Pacific consisting of the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, Samoa, and Midway. http: //www. historywiz. com/laimp-mm. htm
Formerly part of the Spanish empire, the Philippines came under U. S. rule after the Spanish-American War. Filipino rebels had expected independence and fought against U. S. control until they were defeated in 1902. Filipino Rebels http: //asms. k 12. ar. us/classes/humanities/worldstud/97 -98/imper/Philippines/USA.

In the mid-19 th century, American settlers built sugar and pineapple plantations on Hawaii. These settlers overthrew the Hawaiian queen in 1893. After the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Congress voted in favor of the annexation of Hawaii in 1898. http: //harwich. edu/depts/history/pp/imperialism/sld 006. htm
The U. S. announced the Open Door Policy, favoring equal trading rights for all foreign nations in China. In 1900, the Box Rebellion threatened foreigners in China. An international army, with U. S. participation, crushed the rebellion, but Americans opposed any attempt by other nations to use the rebellion to dismember China. Boxer Rebel http: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Image: Boxer 1900. jpg
Gunship Diplomacy In 1853, the United States had forced open an isolationist Japan to Western trade and influence when Commodore Matthew Perry landed there with American navy. http: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Image: Perry. Fleet. jpg
Panama Canal Military importance: Naval strategists believed that the United States needed a large navy and a canal through Central America to establish itself as a world sea power. http: //www. history. navy. mil/photos/images/h 73000/h 73411. jpg
President Roosevelt took steps to build a canal that would allow ships to cross between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans without circling South America. The Isthmus of Panama, the narrowest point in Central America, was a natural place to build the canal, but posed may challenges. http: //harwich. edu/depts/history/pp/imperialism/sld 049. htm
Natures Challenges and the Panama Canal • Tropical climate • Disease-carrying mosquitoes • Mountains http: //www. healthsystem. virginia. edu/internet/library/historical/medical_history/yellow_fever/assets/panama. jpg
When Panamanian rebels declared their independence from Columbia in 1903, Roosevelt sent U. S. warships to protect them. http: //www. panamacanalcountry. com/images/US%20 stamp%20 of%20 Ancon%20 crossing%20 Canal. jpg
In return for U. S. protection, the new government of Panama gave the United States control of the Panama Canal Zone, a ten-mile wide strip of land through the center of Panama. http: //www. smplanet. com/imperialism/joining. html
• Construction of the canal began in 1904. • To prevent malaria and yellow fever, the U. S. Army cleaned up swamps where infected mosquitoes had bred. http: //yellowfever. lib. virginia. edu/reed/images/03 -NC. jpg http: //www. tea. state. tx. us/student. assessment/resources/online/2006/grade 11/ss/images/8 graphicaa. gif
They built a series of locks that raised shops to an artificial lake, across the central highland, and then lowered them back to sea level on the other side. http: //z. about. com/d/cruises/1/0/r/w/1/panama_canal 021. jpg
It took the Army Corps of Engineers ten years to build the enormous locks and to remove millions of tons of earth to complete the canal. http: //www. smplanet. com/imperialism/joining. html
In the early 20 th century, the U. S. government extended the Monroe Doctrine through the Roosevelt Corollary. http: //www. mexicolore. co. uk/uploadimages/169_02_2. jpg
In 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt declared that the U. S. would act as an “international police power” in Latin America. Rather than let European nations intervene to collect their debts, the U. S. would act for them. http: //history. ucsc. edu/history 25 b/4 -24 slides_files/slide 0010_image 058. jpg
The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine was used to justify sending troops into Haiti, Nicaragua, Honduras and the Dominican Republic. In this way, the United States protected its interests in the Panama Canal. Later, President Wilson intervened in both the Caribbean region and Mexico. www. csub. edu/~gsantos/jpgs/img 0099. jpg

A devotion to the interests and culture of one’s nation, nationalism led to competitive and antagonistic rivalries among nations. German Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1917 http: //www. stahlgewitter. com/jpg_17/kaiser_wilhelm_sofia 1. jpg
In this atmosphere of competition, many feared Germany’s growing power in Europe. In addition, various ethnic groups resented domination by others and longed for their nations to become independent. Many ethnic groups looked to larger nations for protection (for example: Russia & Europe’s Slavic peoples. ) Imperial Guards passing Review before Kaiser Wilhelm II. http: //www. gwpda. org/photos/bin 06/imag 0577. jpg
Imperialism For centuries, European nations built empires, slowly extending their economic and political control over various peoples of the world. Colonies supplied the European imperial powers with raw materials and provided markets for manufactured goods. http: //web. library. emory. edu/subjects/humanities/history/Nationalism. jpg
As Germany industrialized, it competed with France and Britain in the contest for colonies. http: //armsandinfluence. typepad. com/photos/arms_and_influence_refere/kaisersmall 1. JPG

To fight the war, Wilson was given sweeping powers. He established new agencies to regulate the wartime economy. The government supervised food and industrial production, shipping, and the railroads. http: //arcweb. sos. state. or. us/exhibits/war/ww 1/conserve. html
Congress passed the Selective Service Act 0 f 1917 to draft men for the army. Those who actively resisted conscription or the war effort faced imprisonment. http: //arcweb. sos. state. or. us/exhibits/war/ww 1/american. html

Wilson felt the most important part of his plan was the creation of an international peace organization, the League of Nations, which would prevent future wars.

The final terms of the Treaty of Versailles were extremely harsh on Germany. Other treaties were similarly harsh on Germany’s allies, Austria and Turkey. http: //www. historyonthenet. com/WW 1/images/wpvd 724 u. jpg
Lands lost by Germany in Versailles Peace Treaty http: //www. historyonthenet. com/WW 1/germanlosses. htm
Key Terms of the 1919 Peace Settlement of World War I • Germany lost territory to France and Poland, and all of its colonies. • Germany lost its navy. Its army was reduced to the size of a police force. • Germany had to accept blame for starting the war and was required to pay reparations (payment for damages) to the Allies. • Austria-Hungary was divided into several new, smaller nations. • A League of Nations was established.
Senate rejects the League of Nations Wilson hoped the League of Nations would discourage future wars. His opponents believed it would drag Americans into unnecessary military commitments. The League of Nations failed, in part because many major world powers, including the United States, never became members. http: //www. senate. gov/artandhistory/resources/graphic/large/Versailles. jpg
Wilson needed two-thirds of the Senate to ratify the treaty. Wilson appealed directly to American voters by going on a national speaking tour. Wilson failed to realize that Americans were disillusioned with world affairs. During the tour, President Wilson suffers a crippling stroke. President Wilson dies as a result of his stroke on February 3, 1924. http: //www. eyewitnesstohistory. com/images/wilson 2. jpg
During the 1920’s, Americans once again followed George Washington’s advice “to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world. ” Isolationismrefusing to become involved in other countries’ affairs. http: //www. gamepuppet. com/presidents/george-washington. htm http: //occawlonline. pearsoned. com/bookbind/pubbooks/martin_awl/medialib/download/2004. jpg
Woman’s suffrage and the prohibition of alcohol were passed at the end of World War I, becoming the final reforms of the Progressive Era. Americans sought prosperity rather than further reform ending the Progressive era of reform. http: //www. legendsofamerica. com/photos-americanhistory/Prohibition.
