Between the years of 1874-1974 America’s foreign policy was strongly motivated by ideological concerns.

Preceding the twentieth century, America finally made the world appear smaller. By utilizing its resources of advanced communication, transportation, and ideas, the United States became a world power (Keene, 170). This new title created conflict in and outside of America. Through this dissention, America’s role was formed by the desire to expand, obligation to help allies, and debate over entering the League of Nations. The role of the United States in the twentieth-century world should have been dominated by the hunger for power but also the desire to help those in need.…
Throughout the first 125 years of her history, the United States was, for the most part, an isolationist nation. After the onset of two world wars, however, America moved from an isolationist stance to become one of the world’s two superpowers. This stance would remain for almost 50 years, until the Soviet Union would come crashing down, leaving America standing as the lone superpower. But how did American foreign policy influence the world over those 50 years? Why did some Presidents take an idealistic approach to foreign policy, while others looked for more realistic approaches? Since World War II, American foreign policy has taken on a global mission. While the policy has sometimes had an idealistic approach, the realistic approach to foreign policy has benefited America and her allies more. To understand how America reached this position of global influence, one must look back to a time when America was an isolationist nation.…
Evaluate the extent to which differing ideas of national identity shaped views of United States overseas expansion in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the United States began to prosper domestically and internationally due to America’s second Industrial revolution and their advancement towards becoming a World Power. America’s emergence as a World Power brought about ambitious ideas of imperialism as opportunities for America dwindled within their grasp. The idea of America being associated with imperialistic desires caused conflicting ideas about America’s national identity. America was divided between Republicans and Democrats on the issue of expansion due to questions of founding beliefs, viable opportunities, and the effect on American morale. Republicans were proponents for imperialism and advocated an aggressive approach to foreign affairs, while Democrats were opponents for imperialism and advocated focusing on domestic issues and maintaining the status-quo of tradition identity.…
The Antebellum period occurred through dynamic a time of religious renewal and advancements in industry. The Market revolution transformed self-sufficient farms into an industrial society. The Second Great Awakening made America into a more religious nation. Before the Second Great Awakening and the Market Revolution women were deemed only to be satisfied by playing with their children in a park, dressed in beautiful dresses as depicted in the painting “The Happy Mother” (Document G). After the awakening and market revolution “traditional women’s work was rendered superfluous and devalued,” (The Market Revolution). Therefore, the Second Great Awakening and the Market Revolution changed the home life, workplace, and roles in society for women.…
During the end of the 19th century after the war and trying to recuperate, America had gone into a state of expansionism. The never ending change with the economy, agriculture and the industrial growth. Democratic National Platform, 1900 states “We assert that no nation can long endure half republic and half empire…” With this new sense of power, expanding for the Americans was inevitable. The spreading of the “good” word of God with the mindset of the “superior” race with the fact that America had to compete economically with other foreign countries had made imperialism not an option but necessary to America’s empire. Also with the other European countries also competing…
United States of America set its ride to become a competitive- further a dominant, power since the Monroe Doctrine of 1823. To its advantage, America was far away from the European dominance over the world and on its own accord, geared towards industrialization, which was its root stand to become a Great Power. The U.S evolved from a continentally isolated country to a Great Power, a nation stronger than the others in Europe in such a small period of time from the end of the Civil War to the early twentieth century. However, there are different interpretations of how this Great Power became an eager expansionist nation.…
Before World Wars I & II, inhabitants of the world could read the signs that America was growing into the most influential country on the map. Realists believe that, prior to the World Wars, America chose to remain completely isolated from the rest of the world due to the sentiment left by the British monarchy. However, as Daniel Deudney and Jeffrey Meiser stated in chapter two of U.S. Foreign Policy, realists believe that America stayed isolated for too long due to the isolation stance that liberalists took as a necessity during a time of global chaos. In turn, according to a realist point-of-view, if the country remained neutral any longer, the ramifications on America’s power and influence in Europe could have been devastating. (2)…
Expansionism in America during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century shared many similarities and differences with earlier expansionist ideas. In both cases of American expansionism, the Americans believed that we must expand our borders in order to keep the country running how it’s supposed to be. Americans also believed that the United States was the strongest of nations, and that they could take any land they wanted. This is shown in the manifest destiny of the 1840's and the Social Darwinism of the late 1800's and early 1900’s. There were also several differences that included the American attempt to stretch their empire across the seas and into other parts of the world.…
As a new nation after the Revolutionary War, America’s prime interest was to maintain its independence from the more powerful European countries. Thus, its main foreign policy at the time became; limiting European attempts of further colonization of the Western Hemisphere. During this time our country spanned the continent and avoided all foreign entanglements. However, like most things, this “isolationist” policy slowly came to an end as the turn of the century approached. This new aggressive foreign policy was derived from a new sense of imperialism within America, the immense consequences of the Spanish American War, and the United States’ Involvement in China, the Caribbean, and Latin America.…
