Question 1 - 10
26.Analyze the literary works, government policies,
social philosophies, geographic factors and/or
economic incentives that motivated American
Imperialism in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries
Answer 1 – 10
• US wanted to grow as a country. Economically
they wanted more raw materials to use, as
well as physically holding power over
territories all around the world to their own
advantage (military and economical uses).
Three factors that stirred imperialism include:
1) desire for military. 2) thirst for new markets
and 3) belief in cultural superiority.
Question 1 - 20
• 27.Compare and/or contrast imperialist and
anti-imperialist viewpoints on the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
Answer 1 – 20
Imperialists and Anti-Imperialists held strong views and contrasted
intensely in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Imperialists
wanted to expand, gaining other countries as colonies, using their
resources as their very own, gaining economic wealth, and
imploring our government there. On the other hand, antiimperialists saw taking control over of other countries as a risky
idea. They didn’t want to get involved with more countries and
they believed by doing this, they would create more enemies
because they have occupied their land. Instead they decided that
isolating themselves and focusing on only their country would be
more beneficial. If they focused on themselves, they would have the
capability to grow and improve their existing territory.
Question 1 - 30
• 28.Describe the role of the media in
promoting the Spanish-American War
Answer 1 – 30
• Propaganda was used in the Spanish-American War. The war’s origin
started from the influence of propaganda. Many stories were told from
reporters about the war and many were false only because they could not
physically get to the war sites. With these false stories, numerous
Americans held the wrong intuitions. William Randolph Hearst, was
surprised when he arrived in Cuba because the country was nothing like
what the reporters described. Everything was intact and in fact didn’t
even seem like it was attacked.
• Newspapers exaggerated stories, this exaggeration became known as
yellow journalism. As Americans were on the rise to intervening, the New
York Journal published a private letter written to bash President McKinley.
The U.S.S. Maine was sent to Cuba to bring home Americans and it was
blown up. American newspapers claimed the Spanish had blown it up.
Question 1 - 40
• 29.Trace the origin, course, and/or
consequences of the Spanish-American War
Answer 1 – 40
• The Spanish-American war began on April 20th when the U.S. declared war.
The first battle took place in the Philippine Islands, America fired on
Manila, the capital. In the Caribbean there was a naval blockade of Cuba.
American forces began to converge on the port of Santiago, Cuba, then
they invaded Puerto Rico. The Treaty of Paris ended the war, Spain freed
Cuba, turned over the islands of Guam and Puerto Rico to the U.S. and
sold the Philippines to them for $20 million. The consequences were that
many people thought the Treaty of Paris went against the Declaration of
Independence, by denying self government to the new territories.
Question 1 - 50
• 30.Identify the issues, challenges, and/or
problems that were raised in the governing of
the U.SU overseas empire
Answer 1 – 50
•Imperialism is the policy in which stronger nations extend their
economics, political or military control over the weaker
territories. Most Americans warmed to the idea od expansion
overseas. They have already pushed the U.S. border to the
Pacific Ocean. 3 factors fueled imperialism; desire of military
strength, thirst for new markets and belief in cultural superiority.
Question 2 - 10
• 31.Identify the motivations and/or obstacles
faced by the U.S. in the construction of the
Panama Canal
Answer 2 – 10
• The Panama Canal is an intricate man made canal that had many
obstacles. Geographically, there were two possible routes of where
the canal could be created. Both of these routes had lakes,
mountains and swamps in the way. There were also problems
between the builders and the land it was infringing on. For the
United States to build, the had to get permission from Colombia
who refused. This caused a rebellion against Colombia. Eventually
a treaty was signed and the United States had to pay $10 million
and an annual rent of $250,000.

bankrupt railroad companies and over 20 years built a new
one that controlled over 2,100 miles of track throughout the
South. This was essential in moving Florida’s produce to
the North. He also bought a hotel that became
headquarters of Roosevelt during the Spanish American
War. Another important person, Henry Flagler, began
reinvesting his money in Florida businesses and also
extended the railway to Key West. This allowed for

Question 2 - 40
• 34. Recognize and examine varying points of
view related to the desire to expand and
restrict civil rights for women and political,
social, economic, religious, and ethnic
minorities
Answer 2 – 40
There are four long term causes of the first world war: nationalism, imperialism,
militarism, and the formation of alliances. Nationalism is the devotion to the interests and
culture of one's nation. This government led to competitiveness and rivalries to heat up
among nations. Imperialism expands an empire and extend their economic and political
control over various people. As Germany industrialized, it competed with France and
Britain in the contest for colonies. Militarism is the development of armed forces and their
use as a tool of diplomacy. Germany and Britain were competing in military expansion,
France, Italy, Japan, and the United States soon joined the naval arms race. The two main
alliances in the war were the allies and the central powers. the Allies, were France, Britain,
and Russia and the Triple Alliance (Central Powers) was Germany, Austria-Hungary, and
Italy. The two political alliances caused a lot of tensions between the countries.
Question 2 - 50
• 35.Identify the reasons for U.S. involvement in
WWI and how Involvement in the war was
justified to the American public
Answer 2 – 50
The US was based on various factors, from economics Wilson’s “Moral
Diplomacy”. At first, the United States wanted to stay neutral with the war and
not intervene. It was difficult to stay neutral due to German U-boat attacks and
other offences. President Wilson declared entrance into the war as a “war to end
all wars” and a way to make the world safe for democracy.
Question 3 - 10
• 36.Explain the cause-and-effect relationships
that resulted in American intervention in WWI
Answer 3 – 10
• One reason is because German U-boat sank a ship the Lusitania. There
were 1,198 people lost including 128 Americans. This made many of the
Americans angry at the Germans. Germans also blockaded the coast so
that no supplies would go through. The Americans were trying to send the
people weapons and supplies which weren't going through. The
Zimmerman note is another example of a cause and effect that caused
America to become involved with the war. The note was a telegram from
the Germans to Mexico saying that if Mexico became an ally with
Germany they would help take Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona from
America. These causes were all part of the reason of the US becoming
involved with WW1.
Question 3 - 20
• 37.Identify the major events and issues that
affected the home front
Answer 3 – 20
Many events happened on the home front. In the U.S they created a War
industries Board to handle the budget during the war. They needed all the
resources and the money they can get. They even started to use propaganda
to promote the war. To be able to rise up against the central powers, we
needed an army greater than theirs. At first, we didn't have that many people
in the military with great experience. The selective service act in may 1917
was passed by congress. The act required men to register with the
government in order to be randomly selected for military service. This led to
millions of people being selected. Our home front was effected by the World
war.
Question 3 - 30
• 38.Explain the role of technology and/or the
concept of total war in WWI
Answer 3 – 30
The Role of Technology in WWI made a huge impact in the fighting of the war. The
battlefields of World War I saw the first large-scale use of weapons that would become
standard in modern war. Although some of these weapons were new, others, like the
machine gun, had been so refined that they changed the nature of warfare. The two
most innovative weapons were the tank and the airplane. Poison Gas was also used
which sickened, suffocated, burned, and blinded its victims. They also used a style of
warfare known as Trench Warfare, in which opposing armed forces attack,
counterattack, and defend from relatively permanent systems of trenches dug into the
ground. However, the new weapons and tactics of WWI led to horrific injuries and
hazards.

of European power, democratic states taking the place of monarchies, and the rise of
Communism and Fascism. There were also economic consequences, including the
economic deterioration of Europe, and the rise of the United States as a global
economic power. And the social consequences included the emergence of a variety of
revolutionary new artistic, literary, philosophical, musical, and cultural movements.
In the U.S. World War I had strengthened both the U. S. military and the power of
government. It had also accelerated social change, especially for African Americans
