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, and isolationism), 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?
What is “foreign policy?”
A country's foreign policy, also called the foreign relations policy,
consists of self-interest strategies chosen by the state to safeguard its
national interests and to achieve its goals within international relations
milieu.
The approaches are strategically employed to interact with other
countries. In recent times, due to the deepening level of globalization
and transnational activities, the states will also have to interact with
non-state actors.
The aforementioned interaction is evaluated and monitored in attempts
to maximize benefits of multilateral international cooperation. Since the
national interests are paramount, foreign policies are designed by the
government through high-level decision making processes.
National interests accomplishment can occur as a result of peaceful
cooperation with other nations, or through exploitation. Usually,
creating foreign policy is the job of the head of government and the
foreign minister (or equivalent). In some countries the legislature also
has considerable oversight.

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.
• Will your “foreign policy” doctrine be based on pragmatism?
Idealism? Both? Other?
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.

The Great War
From Safari Montage
Ch. 10: America Claims an Empire
History Alive! Ch. 19-21
Responses will vary but should include points similar to the following:
1. 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. 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. 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. 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.
Ch. 11: First World War
History Alive! Ch. 22-25
1. The factors that led to war in Europe were nationalism, imperialism,
militarism, and a system of alliances that made an attack on one nation a
conflict that involved many interlinked allies.
2. The United States tried to remain neutral in World War I, but emotional
and economic ties to Great Britain gradually moved it to the side of the
Allies. German submarine attacks convinced Wilson to declare war.
3. At home during the war, production increased, and so did union
membership. Many women entered industry, and thousands of African
Americans moved from the South to the North seeking jobs and an end to
segregation.
4. Many Americans objected to the Treaty of Versailles because it seemed
to betray the high principles Wilson had announced. Many disliked the
idea of a League of Nations, fearing it would involve the United States in
foreign conflicts.

Which is closer to “pragmatism:”
realism or idealism?
• Realist: sees the world as it is and accepts it as is - does
not try to change anything.
Pragmatist: wishes the world was a better place but
recognizes what it actually is - tries to improve things but
recognizes that nothing changes overnight and that some
things will never change.

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 self-interest-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.

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.
