Part 2 America’s Age of Imperialism

Background: During America’s Age of Imperialism in the 1890s, the United States aggressively pursued overseas colonies, holding on to those colonies even in the face of indigenous resistance. Unlike its handling of continental territories, the United States offered the new colonies no pathway toward equal statehood and citizenship. 

American Imperialism combined the expansionist ideology that propelled Americans from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans with a desire to become a world power as well as the need for new markets and raw materials to feed the growing industrial base. Inspired by Alfred Thayer Mahan’s concept of sea power, Americans began to look outside their borders for the means to grow their global political influence. Fueled by the technological innovations and cheap labor of the Industrial Revolution, American industry looked abroad for new markets and access to natural resources. An early and vociferous proponent of American Imperialism, Theodore Roosevelt aggressively and effectively promoted the cause through initiatives like the construction of the Panama Canal and the demonstration of American military power embodied by the Great White Fleet. With the articulation of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt claimed the U.S. right to keep European powers out of Latin America through the use of military force.

Part 3 The American Frontier

The West lives on in American imagination as a place where rugged individuals triumphed over adversity to conquer an inhospitable land. However, historians often disagree with that view. In this assignment, you will be looking at the common myths about the American Frontier and the historical realities. 

Write a paper that contrasts the common myths of the American Frontier from the historical realities.

In addition, explain all of the following points:

•  Explain what two opportunities and/or challenges this group faced during the last half of the 1800s. You can choose two opportunities, two challenges, or one opportunity and one challenge.

•  Explain the impact of the “closing of the frontier” during the last half of the 1800s on this group.

• Explain how the myths relevant to this group contrasted with reality.

In order to gain a better understanding of the Closing of the Frontier, watch the following film:
