Imperialism Causes Social Social Darwinism (racism) Political Economic Gain resources for industrialization Religious Spread Protestantism Militaristic

Expansionists Josiah Strong Theodore Roosevelt (Asst. Sec. of the Navy) Capt. Alfred Mahan The Influence of Sea Power Upon History World dominance comes from maritime power Control Caribbean & exert influence in the Pacific

Expansion in the Pacific Alaska “Seward’s Folly” ($7.2 million) Better access to Asia Samoa Naval base Protectorate & extraterrioriality Hawaii Queen Liliuokalani tries to eliminate American planters’ power = revolt (U.S. marines helped) McKinley annexes HI (most Hawaiians don’t want this)

Causes of the War of 1898 (Spanish American War) Spanish treatment of Cubans Yellow journalism (William Randolph Hearst vs. Joseph Pulitzer) Trade w/ Cuba Expansionism De Lome letter (trashes McKinley) Sinking of the Maine “Remember the Maine!” McKinley vs. Roosevelt McKinley caves & declares war (Teller Amendment) Roosevelt enlists

Philippines & Cuba Philippines Roosevelt orders troops engage Spanish in Manila (Philippines) Spain surrenders to US w/ help from Emilio Aguinaldo Cuban Campaign Rough Riders (media coverage makes Teddy a national hero) Treaty of Paris 1898 = Cuba is independent, U.S. annexes Puerto Rico, Philippines, Guam War was very one sided (most Americans die of disease)

Debate over Annexation of Philippines Business want them for trade w/ China Missionaries & McKinley want to convert Filipinos Anti-imperialists (Democrats, Populists, Mark Twain) US annexes them anyway Philippine-American War Many atrocities (Water cure) Leads to American Anti-Imperialist League

Organizing Our New Acquisitions Philippines William Howard Taft (governor of Philippines) Philippine Gov’t Act (unorganized territory, citizens of the Philippines) Gains independence in 1946 Puerto Rico Foraker Act (est. gov’t) Jones Act (U.S. citizenship) Commonwealth Cuba Platt Amendment (no treaties w/ other nations, US can intervene whenever, US gets naval base) Uprisings and US intervention continue for decades

Imperial Rivalries in East Asia Open Door Policy (Sec. of State John Hay) China open to equal trade w/ all countries Nations should not interfere w/ treaty port Chinese can collect tariffs on equal basis No preferential treatment to your own nation w/ harbor or RR duties Boxer Rebellion

Big-Stick Diplomacy McKinley re-elected, Roosevelt VP McKinley assassinated, Teddy is president (not all Rep. are happy) Panama Canal Clayton Bulwer Treaty  Hay Pauncefote Treaty Columbians try to stop U.S. Paid $10 million & $250,000, opened in 1914 Roosevelt Corollary to US can intervene in western hemisphere so others don’t “Speak softly and carry a big stick” (have a strong military ready if necessary)

U.S. Increases Involvement in International Affairs Japan Russo-Japanese War  Treaty of Portsmouth (Japan gets Korea) Taft-Katsura Agreement (Japan stays out of Philippines) “Yellow peril” Europe Act of Algeciras (Equal trading in Morocco) Teddy gets Nobel Peace Prize for these negotiations “The Great White Fleet”
