Instructions: discuss the history of America using the guidlines below
As you have seen from the readings, sources, and media this week, the U.S. became an industrial society. This meant businesses needed not only workers to support their industrial might, but also overseas markets to increase profits. Using all of this week’s resources, discuss American imperialism in the broader sense of a global perspective.
What were the reasons for the Spanish-American and Philippine-American wars? What goals were American imperialists discussed in this week’s readings trying to achieve? Remember to bring in material from this week’s readings and media to support your argument.
