US II–Imperiaism Quiz–Wednesday 9/28 Avoid just memorizing brief definitions of the terms provided. You will be expected to use the terms in processes that involve…. Explanation Analysis Evaluation (understanding) (detective with evidence) (reaction support w/ evidence) Therefore, you are encouraged to see relationships between different terms. The test will include mostly writing in a short answer format (i.e. approximately five to ten sentences); although, there will be some matching, true/false, and multiple‐ choice. Also, use the essential questions to guide your studying. Be prepared to use any information from homework, class notes, discussion, group activities, and any related source material, both primary and secondary. Do not consider the review sheet to be the limit of what you should know to perform to the best of your ability. It is designed to provide a model for what to study and how. This is designed to get you started, and you are expected to develop your study habits from there. Essential Questions–From these broad questions more specific ones can be developed or revisited to more effectively study. 1) What are the causes and effects of expanding militarily, economically, politically, and socially? 2) What are the pros and cons to expansion? What do different groups of Americans think? 3) What are the challenges of a democratic nation expanding its borders? How are democracy and the struggle for power reconciled? 4) How has imperialism shaped our foreign policy up to the present? Enduring Understandings–Universal truths/facts of Imperialism… 1) The four underlying causes of imperialism are military, economic, political, and social/humanitarian. They are very much intertwined with one another. 2) Blowback is the unintended/unforeseen consequence of a nation’s foreign policy. 3) Nations are generally separated into three basic categories world powers, regional powers (who may influence a few nations around them, but are still vulnerable to the strength of world powers), and those that are colonies or dominated by spheres of influence. 4) You need an advanced military at your disposal to be a world power. 5) Power is the overarching goal of expansion. Whether the acquisition or use of that power is judged as positive or negative depends on the perception of those countries, groups, and people affected. 6) It may often take years and decades to more accurately understand the implications of foreign policy decisions. 7) Variations of the general and specific problems identified during the Imperialism Era may continue to exist within the United States, as well as the rest of the world. 8) There is really no exact endpoint where the idea of imperialism stops. It is an ongoing historical theme. Summary Using the last summary I wrote for you as a model, write your own that includes specific examples to aid in the review process. In addition, I ask that you write five excellent true­false, five multiple­choice questions, and one short answer. Use them to help you study. If they’re excellent, I’ll consider using them in the quiz/test.
