Chapter 7 Unit 4- Becoming a World Power Crash Course Video k4

Why did the United States seek to become an imperialist power?

Imperialism Is the economic and political domination of a strong nation over weaker ones The Strong overtaking the weak

Why did Americans want to expand? Beginning in the 1800’s: 1. A desire for new markets- new places to sell goods (more money) 2. Military- build a large powerful navy 3. cultural superiority (we are better than other countries)

1. New Markets Europe already imperialistic: -factories need more raw materials- find them in other countries -high tariffs causes countries to decrease trade with each other- had to find other markets or countries to sell goods in Europe became creating colonies in Asia and Africa - Some times allowed a protectorate- where the imperial power (strong country) let the local rulers stay in control and they protected them from rebellion and invasion

New Markets: America took notes of Europe’s example U.S. was expanding only in North America (Manifest Destiny) But.. Once the U.S. had settled the western frontier, it seemed natural to expand overseas

2. Feeling of Superiority Social Darwinism comes into play— O Nations compete with each other politically, economically, and militarily—only the strongest will survive. Anglo-Saxonism- Idea by John Fiske O English speaking nations have better character, ideas, and government systems O Therefore Manifest Destiny should go beyond the Pacific and extend overseas

3. Military Americans became increasingly willing to go to war for their own interests O This sparked the need for a large-modern navy American feared that if we did not create a modern navy with bases overseas, we would lose markets to Europe. (we are in competition-social Darwinism)
