    In the late nineteenth century, America was involved in an insurrection called the Spanish American War. Trying to end the fighting, a small group was sent to negotiate a treaty with Spain. The treaty called for the surrender of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines to the United States. However, not everyone advocated this treaty. There were many factors that were debated during the ratification of the Treaty of Paris. The deciding factors of ratification were McKinley’s unsuccessful attempts at revising the treaty, the upholding of the constitution and McKinley’s campaign in America.…

    The Treaty of Paris singed on December 10th 1898 renounced all of Spain’s claims to Cuba, gave the United States Guam and Puerto Rico and transferred over the Philippians to America for 20 million dollars.5 At first President McKinley was skeptical about getting involved in the Philippians but eventually agreed because the public favored the idea to much for him to deny.4 Having this land gave the United States a leg up over other nations now having land across the world they could use for various purposes such as setting up military bases and eventually brought in a wave of American…

    Imperialism was not a proper and legitimate policy for the United States to follow at the turn of the 19th century. Americans defended their country’s attentions with ethnocentric, hypocritical, and overall un-American rationalizations. They imperialized for their own profit and benefit, and had no true justification behind their reasoning.…

    The concept of American Imperialism was first popularized during the presidency of James K. Polk. He led America into the Mexican American War of 1846 where America took more than 55 percent of Mexico’s land. Fifty-four years later, American Imperialism was once again popularized; hence, America’s desire for land was awakened. America felt that their expansion of land was both for human’s sake and for the economic and social benefit. With this idealism, Americans thought American Imperialism would be a crucial movement towards America’s prosperity.…

    The theme explored in this section is America in the World. The annexation of the Philippines produced a far more controversial debate than the annexation of Puerto Rico, due to the fact that the Philippines was much farther from the U.S. than Puerto Rico, and seemed much more ominous to Americans. To take control of this territory seemed too aggressive, beyond the limits of what was acceptable for the U.S., for many Americans. President McKinley believed there were no alternatives to annexation, as he viewed Filipinos incapable of self-government. To return the territory to Spain, from his perspective, would be cowardly. The Treaty of Paris formally ended the war with Spain, that confirmed the armistice regarding Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Guam,…

    The decade of the 1890s marks a diplomatic watershed in American history. During that period the United States embarked upon a very assertive expansionist policy that led to the nation becoming an imperialist power by 1900. The reasons for this change from an essentially low-key, isolationist foreign policy stance to an aggressive involvement in world affairs involved fundamental changes in the American economy and the attitudes of the American people.…
