Why did the US and other countries look to imperialism.
Bring millitary power and prestige
- Naval bases and refuling stations
- $$$ more naturual resources as well as open new market to sell your goods(trade)
- Belief in cultrual serupriod-white man's Bruden
- McKinley to take them all and to educate the filipions and uplift and civilize and chirstianize them
- Taft:we must help our " our little brown bothers" on the philipines.
Taking Alaska and Hawaii
Alaska-Imperialistic fever, and that we could take over Canada.
Hawaii- Missionary work( cristians), and the most important reason we got involved in Hawaii was surgar cane plantations, and potential for naval base/pearl harbor.
Spanish American War
- By 1900 spain was a dwidling empire-philipines, guam,cuba, pureto Rico, and a few colonies in africa(Morrocco and Western Sahara)
- The US had been interested in cuba for a long time.-Us tried to buy cube in 1854
- Cuba had been revloting against Spain frequently( 1868,1878,1886,1895) Wanting Independece.
Causes of War-jose Marti started destroying property of the u,s in cuba and blamed it on spain,
Gernereal Valeriano Wyler-the butcher spain,put alot of people/cubans in concentration camps, News papers streching the truth. Cubans reading reports that cuans were biegn killed americasns were felling sorry for the cubans.
