Desire for military strength- navy (islands in the Pacific and build up of ships) Need for New marketsindustrialization=>need for more raw materials and new places to sell manuf. Goods Belief in cultural superiority- Social Darwinism and WASP superiority- want to spread Christianity and capitalism

7 William Seward Sec. of State for Lincoln and Johnson (carriage accident/neck brace/stabbing) Arranged for US to buy Alaska from Russia in 1867 Congress made fun of him AK = Seward s Folly

9 US: Glue the project info. to R (underneath the notes) -pick your topic out of the pumpkin...you CAN trade, but all topics must be covered by someone!

10 Let's discuss... Think for 30 seconds What can you buy for 2 cents?... maybe more than you think????

11 ALASKA -bought from Russia in Seward s Folly or Seward s Icebox +a difficult sell to Congress -statehood in RICH in natural resources (timber, minerals, oil) *only 2 /acre!

12 HAWAII -stopping point for Am. Merchants going to Asia => Am. Owned sugar plantations -US built Pearl Harbor (naval base) on islands in Hawaiian leaders (like Queen Lili) forced to annex to the US in 1898 (under McKinley) -great geo. Location and nat. resources -1959, HI became 50th state in the US

McKinley sent it to pick up American businessmen and their families in Havana men were killed. Who was to blame? No one knows. (Hearst offered a $50,000 reward to find the guilty Spaniards).

20 McKinley- Not in favor of a war, but headline Remember the Maine swayed public opinion => WAR! The Spanish-American War, or Splendid Little War was fought on two fronts: the Caribbean and the Pacific. (see map p. 555)

21 The war ended with the Treaty of Paris The terms were: *Cuba is free, at least for a while. * Guam and Puerto Rico went from Spanish to American control. *US bought the Philippines from Spain for 20 million $.

32 Was there hay in China? US Sec of State, John Hay, issued an Open Door Policy with China that stated that no major world power would have a monopoly on trade with China. He did this to protect the interests of American businesses. (1899)

33 Open Door Policy...

34 Why China? Because China was (and is) a HUGE market, European nations and the US wanted a piece of the pie. Some groups, like the Boxers wanted to get rid of the foreign devils.

35 The Boxers- secret society that practiced martial arts (Euros. thought they were boxing). They killed 100s of missionaries, foreigners and Chinese Christians in The US and European forces put down the Boxer Rebellion (1900).

36 Anti-Imperialist League -most Americans agreed with Imperialism (McKinley was reelected in 1900), but many prominent ppl. Were against it... -Anti-Imperialist League argued that it was wrong for the US to rule other ppl. without their consent (Grover Cleveland, Andrew Carnegie, Jane Addams, Mark Twain, etc.)
