    The theme explored in this section is America in the World. The annexation of the Philippines produced a far more controversial debate than the annexation of Puerto Rico, due to the fact that the Philippines was much farther from the U.S. than Puerto Rico, and seemed much more ominous to Americans. To take control of this territory seemed too aggressive, beyond the limits of what was acceptable for the U.S., for many Americans. President McKinley believed there were no alternatives to annexation, as he viewed Filipinos incapable of self-government. To return the territory to Spain, from his perspective, would be cowardly. The Treaty of Paris formally ended the war with Spain, that confirmed the armistice regarding Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Guam,…

    Questions are often asked regarding the real motives behind the United States’ attempt to mend relations with China. What would the U.S. gain by improving relations with this communist country? What did Nixon and Kissinger try to achieve by ‘opening China’? In this research essay, I will try to analyse these questions and attempt to answer them. I, in order, however, to effectively come to a conclusion about these answers, should have at least a brief understanding about the events that led up to this major political landmark. The situation of world politics at that time was very complicated, and inter-related events and happenings are impossible to separate from the questions at hand.…

    The Spanish-American War served to end Spain’s colonial power in the western hemisphere. In the time leading up to the war there was three years of turmoil in Cuba, where Cuban revolutionaries were locked in battle with the Spanish in an attempt to gain independence from their mother country (history.state.gov 1). For most of the Cuban revolution the US, particularly due to president McKinley’s distaste for war, had opted to steer clear of involving itself in the conflict (Sparknotes [1] 1). However, with the growing tide of public outcry and the explosion of the USS Maine president McKinley finally buckled and sent his approval for a declaration of war with Spain, which was passed on April 11, 1898 (Sparknotes [1] 1). Had I been a senator in 1898 I would have supported the declaration of war for multiple reasons, including the ones above.
