    White Man's Burden 101 Book Report

    In 1898, the United States switched to imperialism by taking Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and Hawaii, then to make the mark, the Philippines. For the most part of history the United States of America was in opposition to the idea of taking and claiming colonies, they believed that colonies had the right to be self-governed. However, it was the motivation by the overproduction of economy that drove America into imperialism. Cuba would become independent from Spain, with the intention that US occupation forces would eventually leave Cuba to become a free nation, as the Teller Amendment had promised. Also, the US would get Guam, a small Spanish island colony that the US had taken by surprise attack, as well as Puerto Rico. The people that were for annexing the islands argued that there were business interests in…

    Louisiana Purchase and Lewis and Clark Expedition

    In 1762, France gave up Louisiana to Spain, but the secret Treaty of San Ildefonso, allowed the French to reclaim the area for themselves. By 1800, after a confusing Revolutionary period, France once again emerged as a great world power under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte. He envisioned a great French empire in the New World, and he hoped to use the Mississippi Valley as a food and trade center to supply the sugar-rich island of Santa Domingo, which was to be the heart of this empire. First, however, he had to restore French control of the island, where slaves under Toussaint L’ouverture had seized power in a rebellion. Napoleon’s attempts to colonize were failed when his troops were ravaged by tropical diseases like as yellow fever, carried by mosquitos. Also, France was in conflict with Britain and Napoleon believed withholding this land from the US would drive the US into Britain’s arms. Because of these two problems, Napoleon decided to sell the Louisiana land to United States, cutting his loses, and abandoning his hopes of a New World empire for France. Napoleon also believed if the United States had control over the new land, they would be able to create a military and naval force that could challenge that of…

    What Changed The Relationship Between Great Britain And Its American Colonies After 1763

One feud between Great Britain and France led to the French and Indian War during the mid 18th century. After the war was over in 1763, the political, economic and ideological relations between Britain and its American colonies were altered. Although altered, not all would agree that they were altered for the worse.…

    Independence Movement of Brazil and Mexico.

    Before Mexico gained independence from Spain it had multiple social classes, all of whom had different motives before it began. The Mexican Independence was sculptured by the tension between the Peninsulares, who composed 0.2% of the population, and the Creole, who comprised 17.8% of the population. The Peninsulares, were the Spanish born Spaniards of Mexico, and the Creole unlike the Peninsulares, were Mexican born Spaniards (Bethell 54). The rest of the populations were lower class citizens that were 60% Indian, and 22% mixed (Bethell 55). Once Napoleon invaded the Iberian Peninsula on 1808 on July 16, dethroned Ferdinand VII and put his brother at the throne, the alliance that was forming between the Creole bourgeoisie and property-owning elite broke up in the immediate wake of the collapse (Bethell 58). "Jose Primo Verdad and Juan Francisco Azcarate, a friar from Peru, adopted a resolution on July 15 calling upon the viceroy, Jose de Iturrigaray, to assume direct control of the government in the name of Ferdinand VII and the representatives of the people" (Bethell 58).…

    Christopher Columbus Was The Most Successful Essay

    The French and Indian war was a major blow to the French colonizing efforts. Also, the English and Spanish feuded over the New World, the English wanted the riches the Spanish were getting from South American and Catholic Spain felt threatened by the English protestants and the England’s sea power. The Spanish sent their armada over to England in 1588 in hopes to rid the threat in the New World, but a few brave English ships decimated them. After that, England had the new maritime power and Spain started a slow descent. Of course, a few hundred years after that, the American Revolution broke out and England began it’s own slow decline. During the Revolution, as the French helped the Americans out on their border, back in France the treasury was empty due to their aid, and that started the French Revolution. All the European powers had major trouble to deal with as a result of colonizing the New World, except for the Dutch, who was booted out of the game early on. That’s Karma for…

    Spain acquired her America through many motives and events. The Treaty of Tordesillas was the key one, it was the agreement of anything west of Brazil was to Spain and east was to the Portuguese. They exhausted this treaty with imaginary north and south lines that explained spheres of importance. Successions of individual dominance took place rather than one big attack. Francisco Vazquez de Coronado led a voyage into what is now the United States in search of gold and Pedro de Valdivia dominated the Araucanian Indians of Chile and founded the city of Santiago.…

    Compare And Contrast Latin American Revolutions

    Summarize the events leading to the Monroe Doctrine, explain its terms, and discuss whether or not it was an isolationist document.

    After Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated and exiled, the old monarchies of Europe acted quickly to reassert their old power. They crushed the democratic rebellions and restored dethroned monarchs to their thrones. Rumor had it that they wanted to destroy the new Latin America republics and restore the lands to colonial rule by Spain. Britain did not want this to happen because the monopoly-free ports of the new Latin American republics were profitable so the British minister at that time, George Canning, suggested that the United States and Great Britain jointly declare the Americas off limits to the European powers.…

    The Spanish-American War and Imperialism

    The Spanish-American War originally started off as The United States protecting Cuba from its Spanish rulers essentially, but quickly evolved into colonial expansion. The war became a war of imperial expansion in the late 1800’s due to America’s new “outward” focuses on global markets and growing concerns of economic competition/expansion from other world powers. America, once a colony itself was now looking to expand its influence into other parts of the globe as its European cousins had been doing for quite some time.…
