*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.
