*Old vs. New Diplomacy
Old diplomacy: Noninterventionist is when you dont get involved in other country's affairs. Isolationist: the US acted alone in foreign affairs as compared with working with other nations. Passive and reactive: the US waited for events to occur and then acted accordingly.
New diplomacy: Imperialistic: started taking over colonies to create an empire. Alfred Mahan, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Teddy Roosevelt were imperialistic. Needed a stronger army and navy. Monroe Doctrin- said that if anyone attacked some certain states, we would could that as a start of a war.
*Main powers in the late 1800's Great Britain, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Russia, US, Ottoman Empire(Turkey), and Japan were the big empires.

US purchase of Alaska: bought it for 7.2 million dollars, people didn't want to buy it because it was a big bunch of ice. Bought it at that time because of tourism, it is our biggest state by far.
Purchase of Hawaii: it is a big sugar state, some US navy people came in an took over Hawaii and it worked, Hawaians didn't want to become part of Hawaii.
