    Explain The Roosevelt Corollary To The Monroe Doctrine

    Around 1895, after Japan won the Sino-Japanese War, Japan, France, Germany, Russia, and Britain divided in China’s coast into spate parts. In 1899, to ensure the establishment of American interest in Asia, U.S. Secretary of State John Hay sent a letter to these countries that essentially demanded equal economic access to China’s markets for all nations. This right to equal access was called the open door policy, which happened under President Roosevelt’s presidency. To further secure American interest in Asia, the United States sent 5,000 soldiers to help fight a growing rebellion in Beijing, China. Secretary Hay then further demanded that China should remain a territory because American interest in China relied on at least a minimal Chinese…

    "Historians have traditionally labeled the period after the War of 1812 the 'Era of good Feelings.' Evaluate the accuracy ofof this label, considering the emergence of nationalism and sectionalism."

    Jefferson did not present his candidacy for a third presidential period, but he helped elect the Democratic-Republican candidate from Virginia, James Madison, as president in 1808. Madison was the 4th president who also presided for two periods, from 1809 to 1817. During these years he had to confront serious problems. The worst of them was the continuous confrontations with Great Britain. Neither English nor French were in disposition to cede to American petitions. The United States wanted to have control over fur trade and other riches. Finally, President Madison had to hear many petitions and asked congress to declare war on Great Britain. Congress accepted and the War of 1812 began.…

    How Did The Truman Doctrine Affect US Foreign Policy?

    During the time of post-World War II Soviet geopolitical expansion, the political and economic future of European nations were at stake. Truman described the situation as autocratic regimes undermining democratic countries, using political, economic and military means to re-write and disrupt the western European map of geopolitical influence, alliances and independence (Truman 344). Greece and Turkey asked for military and financial aid from the United States as Great Britain, their former benefactor, was no longer able, or in a position to, support the two struggling nations. The two countries would have fallen if not for the immediate financial support from the United States. (Truman, 1) While the Truman Doctrine only gave support to Greece…

    The Era of Good Feeling Dbq

    During Monroe’s two terms, sectionalism, an excessive regard for sectional or local interest, increased greatly. This increase in sectionalism is due to acts like the Tariff of 1816. A tell tale sign that the Tariff of 1816 was going to cause sectionalism was that in the U.S. House of Representatives, the bill was passed by representatives in every section of the country except for the south. (In the south, “23 votes in favor, 34 against”.) The Tariff of 1816 was a protective tariff made to protect manufacturers from foreign competition. This protective tariff however, only helped the north because basically all of the United States’ manufacturing was being done in the north east. Since this protective tariff drove up the prices of foreign goods, the south wasn’t able to trade cash crops for manufactured goods of Europe for the same low prices that they had in the past. This of course caused great tension between the two sections of the country because the south viewed the north as the only ones being helped by the national government. Another issue that caused sectionalism was the debate over slavery. The authors of the constitution believed that slavery would eventually die out with the abolishment of the slave trade in 1808. This of course couldn’t be farther from what really happened. With the invention of the cotton gin, cotton production became a staple part of the American economy, with this mass production of cotton came an increased need for slave labor. Debates over slavery and whether it should be legal would cause great…

    The James Monroe Doctrine Is Important Today

    James Monroe was the fifth president and was the last founding father to be president. After serving his first term, he was left with no other candidates to compete with him so he won his second term in office unopposed. During his seventh year in office he added the Monroe doctrine to the annual message to congress, which himself and his secretary of state John quicny adams contrived. The Monroe doctrine is important today because it was a defining moment for America's foreign policy. Monroe decided to make this doctrine at this time because of the Napoleonic wars, since he feared the victorious european powers. He also wanted the latin american colonies to be protected.…

    Andrew Jackson: A War Hero

    Andrew Jackson was elected in 1828, making him the seventh president of the United states. Andrew Jackson was a widely recognized war hero for his efforts in the war of !812, otherwise known as the second AMericsn revolution. THere he made the "war-ending" victory against the bristish in the Battle of New Orleans, which had really occurred two weeks after the Treaty of Ghent which truly eneded the war. Andrew JAckson had ran for president once before in 1824, but he lost to JOhn Quincy Adams, who won due to a "currupt bargain" in which one of the other candinates gave up his electoral votes to Adams. Jackson made no mistakes the second time alone where he helped bring along universal male suffrage, where males who didn’t own land could also vote. Therefore in 1828, Jackson won as most of these new voters could connect with Jackson as he was "relatebale." HIs presidency was ovewwhelmed by several controvercial issues. However Andrew JAcskon remained a hero due to the wasy he handelled these issues such as the nullification crisis and Indian Removal Act,…
