What was, is, and ought to be
America’s role in the world?
Foreign policy Socratic circle coming
foreign policy
• the set of goals, principles, and practices that
guide a nation in its relations with other
countries.
• realists and idealists shaped American foreign
policy during the 1800s.
• Will your “foreign policy” doctrine be based on
pragmatism? Idealism? Both? Other?
Ch. 19: Setting a Course of Expansionism
• During the 1800s, U.S. foreign policy was guided by two goals. The first was to
keep the United States free of foreign alliances and out of foreign conflicts.
The second was to expand the United States across the North American
continent. As Americans began to look outward in the late 1800s, they
debated the nation's proper role in world affairs.
• Realism and idealism U.S. foreign policy is generally a blend of realism and
idealism. With realism, the focus is on practical concerns and national selfinterest. With idealism, the focus is on moral values and the spread of
American ideals.
• Neutrality and unilateralism Following the advice given by Washington in his
Farewell Address, the United States tried to stay neutral in foreign wars and
avoid alliances with other countries. The War of 1812 was fought in part to
defend American rights as a neutral nation.
• The Monroe Doctrine The Monroe Doctrine warned European powers that the
United States would view efforts to establish colonies in the Americas or
interfere with new Latin American republics as hostile to its interests.
• Continental expansion Following a policy of expansion through diplomacy, the
United States acquired the Louisiana Territory, Florida, Oregon Territory, and
Alaska. By winning the Mexican War, it gained vast lands in the Southwest.
• Overseas expansion In the late 1800s, the United States began to look overseas
for new territory and influence. At the same time, Americans began to debate
the role and value of overseas expansion.
Which is closer to “pragmatism:”
realism or idealism?
• Realist: sees the world as it is and accepts it
as is - does not try to change anything.
Pragmatist: wishes the world was a better
place but recognizes what it actually is - tries
to improve things but recognizes that nothing
changes overnight and that some things will
never change.
•
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_major_differences_between_realism_and_pragmatism
diplomacy
• the art of conducting negotiations with other
nations.
• Diplomacy may lead to informal agreements as
well as treaties.
• A second tool is financial aid in the form of grants
or loans. Such aid can be used to support friendly
nations or influence their policies.
• A third tool is the threat or the use of armed
force.
realism
• in foreign policy, the belief that international
relations should be guided by pragmatic selfinterest-practical goals such as national defense
and access to resources
• From this perspective, foreign policy should
pursue practical objectives that benefit the
American people. Such objectives might include
national security, increased trade with other
nations, and access to overseas resources.
idealism
• in foreign policy, the belief that moral values
should influence international relations
• From this point of view, foreign policy should
be used to promote America's founding
ideals—particularly democracy, liberty, and
rights—to ensure a better world not just for
Americans, but for all people.
What drives your decisions?
More terms foreign policy terms
• neutrality: the policy of not taking sides in
wars between other nations
• unilateralism: a policy of not seeking military
or political alliances with foreign powers
• Under this policy, the United States "went it

did not seek either military or political
alliances with foreign powers.

Ch. 20: The Spanish-America War

•
•
•
•
•
•
As a result of its victory in the Spanish-American War, the United States became a
world power with overseas possessions. In the eyes of many, the United States had
become an imperialist nation.
Cuban revolt Cubans rose up against Spanish rule in the late 1800s, and many were
imprisoned in reconcentration camps. Many Americans sympathized with the Cubans'
plight.
Role of the press American newspapers exaggerated stories about the Cuban revolt to
play on American sympathies and sell papers. Yellow journalism helped push the
country toward war.
The de Lôme Letter and the USS Maine Two incidents increased tensions between the
United States and Spain. A letter from the Spanish ambassador criticizing President
McKinley, followed by the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor, incited American
anger.
A "splendid little war" After negotiations failed, Congress declared war on Spain. The
war, which lasted just four months, began in the Philippines and ended in Cuba and
Puerto Rico. Many volunteers fought with the U.S. forces, including Theodore
Roosevelt's Rough Riders. The most important battle of the war took place on San Juan
Hill, outside Santiago.
Arguing over imperialism The Treaty of Paris recognized the U.S. victory and left the
United States in possession of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Members of the
Anti-Imperialist League spoke out against the treaty, but it was eventually ratified by
the Senate.
Cuba and the Platt Amendment Although the Treaty of Paris granted independence to
Cuba, the United States maintained control over the island. The Platt Amendment
allowed the United States to intervene in Cuban affairs and establish military bases in
Cuba.

Responses will vary but should include points similar to the following:
1. American imperialism was shaped by economic competition for raw
materials and new markets, political and military competition for power,
and an ideology that considered English culture superior to others.
2. The United States entered a war against Spain in 1898 and won Puerto
Rico. It also purchased the Philippines and took a dominant role in Cuba.
3. Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States, which chose its
government. In Cuba, the United States secured passage of a new
constitution that gave it the right to step in if it desired. In the Philippines,
the United States fought Filipinos seeking to win full independence.
4. Roosevelt asserted American power by leading negotiations to end a
war between Russia and Japan, by sending a fleet around the world, and
by helping Panama win independence so the United States could build the
Panama Canal.

Our focus is our nation’s growth into a major world power. We’ll examine the roots of American
global expansion, foreign policy ideologies (pragmatism, expansionism, and isolationism), the
Open Door Policy, the Spanish-American War, the construction of the Panama Canal, and
America's involvement in the “Great War.” Did our growth help or hinder the American ideals?

1. The factors that led to war in Europe were nationalism, imperialism,
militarism, and a system of alliances that made an attack on one nation a
conflict that involved many interlinked allies.
2. The United States tried to remain neutral in World War I, but emotional
and economic ties to Great Britain gradually moved it to the side of the
Allies. German submarine attacks convinced Wilson to declare war.
3. At home during the war, production increased, and so did union

Americans moved from the South to the North seeking jobs and an end to
segregation.
4. Many Americans objected to the Treaty of Versailles because it seemed

Ch. 19: Setting a Course of Expansionism

The second was to expand the United States across the North American
continent. As Americans began to look outward in the late 1800s, they

the role and value of overseas expansion.

Ch. 21: Acquiring and Managing Global Power
• At the start of the 20th century, the United States was an imperialist nation
with overseas possessions. Three presidents—Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson—
developed foreign policies designed to expand American power and protect
American interests.
• Roosevelt Corollary President Roosevelt followed the Big Stick Policy in
foreign affairs. In 1904, he issued the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe
Doctrine. This policy called on the United States to use "international police
power" to promote order and security in the Western Hemisphere. The use of
force became a key element of foreign policy.
• Dollar Diplomacy President Taft's Dollar Diplomacy focused on economic
goals overseas. He emphasized the spread of American influence through
economic activity. But he also sent troops to protect American interests.
• Moral Diplomacy President Wilson favored a moral approach to foreign
policy. He wanted to spread democratic ideals overseas. Yet he also used force
to uphold American interests.
• Latin America The United States became deeply involved in Latin America in
the early 1900s. It helped Panama gain independence and built the Panama
Canal. It intervened in Mexico. It made Puerto Rico a U.S. possession.
• Asia and the Pacific The Philippines became a U.S. possession, and the United
States put down an independence movement there. It annexed Hawaii after
white planters overthrew the native monarchy. In China, it applied its Open
Door Policy to limit foreign control and maintain access to Chinese markets.
