Roosevelt Attitude Towards Japan Analysis

The United States acted carefully towards their abroad interest. Meaning that the United States did not act in any way that would jeopardize them losing their interest. However, when you compare that to the way the United States acted towards their own people; it differs because America industries during this time period were poorly funded, horrible working environment. The United States did not care for their own citizens when providing their products that they would sell. The purposed of the foreign policy was to make trading cheaper for the United States, how could the U.S. expect to sell commodities if the U.S. do not care for the men and women, even children laborers whom are making these products. Roosevelt attitude towards Japan is an example of the different behavior patterns the U.S 1905. (Chapter 21). Roosevelt was protecting the open door in Asia, the opening door meaning the open opportunity for the U.S. to trade with Asia. When Roosevelt was negotiated with Russia and Japan, Roosevelt was acted towards Japan favor when he had asked Russia to accept Japan’s territory gain. (Chapter 21, pg. 510) This led Roosevelt to already
be on good standing with Japan, which ultimately led to the “secret agreement with the Japanese to ensure that United States could continue to trade freely in the region”. However, even when the Japanese attempted to gain naval power Roosevelts did not acted in a hard or hostile way. Instead Roosevelt leaned more towards a diplomatic approach, which was to show the power of the United States Naval, by showing the battleships. The Notion of the interest groups, Interest groups during this time period late 1890’s early 1900’s providing a backbone for individuals, a backbone that would protect the people from the harsh working environments.
Interest groups are not related to the Democratics or to the Republican, interest groups are not related to any particular party. Therefore you will not see the tugging or arguing between parties. “…and others learned to operate as interest groups to advance their demands without relying on parties” (Chapter 20 author?, pg 490). The Government did not passed any regulations to work places out of the kindness of their heart, the only reasons why states such as California passed child labor law, and formed Union Parties, and limitation on the working hours for women was because of the interest groups. (Chapter 20, pg
490). By comparing these two factories, you notice a different behavior shift the U.S government took. Roosevelts seem to be walking on thin ice with Japan; not wanting to offend, or spark any fire towards their relationships. Yet, however, with citizens of the United States, the government do not act a certain behavior with them, instead it seems to be that the U.S. turn their backs on the workers, and the only way why the workers got protections laws was because of an outside force. The president does not act or become part of the individuals or the workers who are the solely foundation why the U.S have products to trade and sell. However, the president, in this case Roosevelt, acted solely and independently on his own; meaning that the President acted more with another nation than with his very own. Theodore Roosevelt was one of the first presidents that had a great interest in foreign affairs, “The president could act unfettered and alone”- when dealing with foreign policy. The president could decide what direction to lean towards. Roosevelt believes in usage of American power in the world (Chapter 21, pg. 509). There was two different type of civilization according to Roosevelt 1. Civilized nations- which would be nations that mostly consist of white people, and the 2nd was Uncivilized people which would consist mostly of Latin, non-white countries. Civilized nations were the nations in my understanding compared to or shared the same characteristics as the United States. They were the countries that was industrialized, on the other hand Uncivilized were the countries that would produce mostly raw material. However, THEODORE Roosevelt had a interest in the latin countries.
