2 Foreign countries put tariffs on incoming American goods. This made American goods more expensive in those countries and less desirable. Having more control over other countries and their economies would be beneficial to American businesses and, thus, our economy (Think in reverse for America s products)

3 JAPAN AND HAWAII Sum up: How did America extend its influence in Japan? How did America extend its influence in Hawaii?

4 THE U.S. WANTS MORE INVOLVEMENT IN LATIN AMERICA We bought natural resources from Latin American countries, but they bought most of their finished goods from Europe. James G. Blaine, the U.S. secretary of state wanted to see the U.S. as a dominant power in the western hemisphere Conference called in Washington D.C. in Latin American countries Discussing Pan-Americanism: the Americas working together to increase peace and trade

5 SUPPORT FOR A MODERN NAVY Many Americans thought building up our navy and getting bases overseas was a good idea to maintain our position in the world Alfred T. Mahan Naval officer who wrote influential book about large navies and their successes Henry Cabot Lodge Influential U.S. senator who supported the building of a navy Along with the Anglo-Saxonism idea that we (as an English-speaking nation) were destined to dominate the world, and the threat of falling behind the Europeans, the U.S. built a large navy and was ready for action should it arise

6 CUBA Cuba was a colony of Spain Very rich in sugar production (1/3 world s supply) 1886 Cubans tried to throw off the Spanish rule in a revolution, but were unsuccessful - Many Cubans fled to U.S. and started planning a second attempt - Many people in U.S. supported a the idea of the rebellion. Why do you think? Jose Marti - writer/poet committed to Cuban independence

7 REBELLION IN CUBA Cuba not in a good economic spot - U.S. imposed new tariff on sugar - Tariff: a tax on imported goods. These make the goods more expensive for the consumer, so it is likely they won t buy them - U.S. uses this to make sure Americans buy American products U.S. tariff dropped American purchase of Cuban sugar and wrecked Cuba s economy Marti sees this as good time to launch the rebellion - Cubans get control of eastern Cuba

8

9 AMERICAN SUPPORT AND YELLOW JOURNALISM At first.americans are generally neutral - President Grover Cleveland declares neutrality But American public - Supporting the Cubans - Stories of Spanish committing horrible acts are reported in American newspapers Yellow Journalism - sensationalistic news (often exaggerated or made up) to draw in readers and increase sales - Pulitzer and Hearst trying to be best newspaper *stories of Cuban prisoners being fed to dogs and sharks by the Spaniards.

10

11 YELLOW JOURNALISM - YOU TRY Make a very short story and headline for a mundane object Pick an event: - Kitten stuck up a tree - Snow on the ground - Unusually hot weather - Pizza parlor running out of pepperoni - Someone s phone breaking - Story of your choice

12 CURRENT EVENT DUE FRIDAY 12/1 1. Choose a current event news story from one of your regular sources. 2. Read the article 3. Write your name, the original story's headline, and your source (like usual) 4. Create a new, sensational (yellow journalism-style) headline 5. Write a 6 sentence summary of the article in yellow journalism fashion (still stick to the truth...just exaggerate or make it seem more exceptional than it really is) ***NO REACTION OR TERMS THIS WEEK

13 TRUE CUBAN ATROCITIES Cuban rebels destroying property (especially American to get us to intervene) Guerrilla warfare Governor Weyler, The Butcher kept many townspeople from joining rebels by putting them in concentration camps

14 AMERICA ASSERTS HER POWER From a political standpoint, why would the Cuban rebellion be good for American imperialism? President McKinley did not want to get involved (didn t want to lose American lives), but. - the outcry of the American public forced him to tell Spain that if their war with the Cubans didn t end quickly, the U.S. might intervene. Spanish Reaction? - They got rid of General Weyler - offered Cubans own government, but not full independence Cubans upset, Spanish in Cuba upset - McKinley sends the U.S.S. Maine to protect American interests

15 REMEMBER THE MAINE! 1. The Maine blew up in Havana harbor 2. Spanish are immediately blamed 3. Congress approves $50 million to prepare for war 4. McKinley still doesn t want war, but finally, after A LOT of pressure, he declares war on Spain

16

17 WHO SANK THE MAINE? Textbook pages Read ALL of both pages Answer Questions for Understanding the Issue (#1-3) Answer these questions (based on your own opinion) (#4-5): 4. Describe how previous American interventions overseas AND the media might have fueled the initial Maine reports. 5. What do you think the cause of the Maine sinking was? Why do you think so?

18 EVEN AFTER THE MAINE... President McKinley tried to maintain neutrality President McKinley ambassador to Spain, Stewart L. Woodford, was instructed to deliver this message: The President has evidenced in every way his desire to preserve and continue friendly relations with Spain. He has kept every international obligation with fidelity and wants honorable peace. He has repeatedly urged the government of Spain to secure such a peace. Peace is the desired end. For your own guidance, the President suggests that if Spain will revoke the reconcentration order and maintain the people until they can support themselves and offer to the Cubans full self-government, with reasonable indemnity, the President will gladly assist in its consummation".

19 BUT REPUBLICANS AND MANY AMERICANS WERE HELL-BENT ON WAR WITH SPAIN Jingoism attitude of aggressive nationalism Young Republicans in the U.S. were furious at McKinley including future president, Theodore Roosevelt Democrats and Republicans demanding war McKinley asks for use of force to end Cuban conflict April days later...spain declares war on U.S./ U.S. responds

27 AMERICAN INFLUENCE IN ASIA Setting the Stage Election of 1900 McKinley running for president again Teddy Roosevelt got fame from Sp-Am War (rough rider) and was young and charismatic T.R. as V.P. McKinely shot by anarchist T.Roosevelt becomes youngest president ever (42) Roosevelt says we shouldn t just sit and let the world pass us by...we have responsibility to be engaged in world affairs and civilize those less civilized (Anglo- Saxonism)

28 CHINA America was interested in the possibility of doing much more trade with China We had several military bases in the area after the Sp-Am war Spheres of Influence China lost a war to little Japan (whose modernizing did them good) More powerful countries see this as their in They get China to lease them land...they have control over things like construction, railroads, economy, etc.

29 U.S. AND OPEN DOOR POLICY IN CHINA We ask the other countries in China to agree to not restrict trade with the U.S. They sort of agree by not disagreeing Boxer Rebellion - Chinese were rising up secretly to get the foreign countries out altogether - attacked foreign embassies - U.S. steps in and gets the other countries to back off and not colonize - we stop the bloodshed and secure our trade in the region

30 PANAMA T.Roosevelt liked showing American power by parading our military around the globe Panama Canal Roosevelt wanted a shortcut through the Americas for military and ships of goods U.S. gains control of some land that the French had abandoned for a canal 5600 deaths in building were Caribbean laborers

31 WEIRD PACE OF SPEAKING, BUT GOOD INFO Think about what a pro-imperialist and anti-imperialist would say about these actions:

32 PRESIDENTS AND POLICIES OF IMPERIALISM Roosevelt - Big Stick - Get what you want by using diplomacy (speak softly), but be prepared to use force if necessary (carry a big stick) - global policeman Taft - Dollar Diplomacy - money is key (for us and the countries we re helping ) Wilson - Missionary - we re helping others because it s the right thing to do
