Abstract: In the 1890s a number of economic and political forces sparked a spectacular burst of imperialistic expansionism for the United States that culminated in the Spanish-American War- a war that began over freeing Cuba ended with the highly controversial acquisition of the Philippines. Various developments provoked the previously isolated United States to turn its attention overseas in the 1890s. Among the stimuli for the new imperialism were the desire for new economic markets, the sensationalistic appeals of the “yellow press,” missionary fervor, Darwinist ideology, great power rivalry, and naval competition. Strong American intervention in the Venezuelan boundary dispute of 1895-1896 demonstrated an aggressive new assertion of the Monroe Doctrine & led to a new British willingness to accept American domination in the Western Hemisphere. Longtime American involvement in Hawaii climaxed in 1893 in a revolution against native rule by white American planters. President Cleveland temporarily refused to annex the island, but the question of incorporating Hawaii into the Untied States triggered the first full-fledged imperialistic debate in American history. The “splendid little” Spanish American War began in 1898 over American outrage about Spanish oppression in Cuba. American support for the Cuban rebellion had been whipped up into intense popular fervor by the “yellow press.” After the mysterious Maine explosion in February 1898, this public passion pushed a reluctant President McKinley into war, even though Spain was ready to concede on the major issues. An astounding first development of the war was Admiral Dewey’s naval victory in May 1898 in the rich Spanish islands of the Philippines in East Asia. Then in August, American troops, assisted by Filipino rebels, captured the Philippine city of Manila in another dramatic victory. Despite mass confusion, American forces also easily & quickly overwhelmed the Spanish in Cuba & Puerto Rico.
Objectives: Students will be able to understand how individuals and events moved the United States into the role of a world power and to recognize the effects of economic policies on U.S. diplomacy.
