Becoming a World Power

1890 to 1920

Identify the attitudes and actions that transformed the United States into a world power in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.

Unit Five: American Vision

Chapter 14; Section One Overview; Becoming a World Power:1890 to 1920

Increased European imperialism led many Americans to justify expansion with the idea of

Anglo-Saxonism—the belief that it was the nation's destiny to spread its civilization to other people.

New markets were forced upon first in Japan, when the United States made a show of force, and then in

Hawaii, when American business leaders led a successful campaign for Hawaiian annexation. In

Latin America, leaders attempted to increase American influence. Meanwhile, the United States

became increasingly assertive in foreign affairs.

Chapter Fourteen: Section One: Becoming a World Power

Why did the United States want to become an imperialist nation at the turn of the1900’s?

What was the Roosevelt Corollary?

The Roosevelt Corollary was an amendment to the Monroe Doctrine by President Teddy

Roosevelt in 1904. Roosevelt's extension of the Monroe Doctrine asserted a right of the United States to intervene to in the economic affairs of

small countries in the Caribbean and Central America if they were unable to pay their

international debts.

Objective:

Section Two

Becoming a World Power

1890 to 1920

Describe the Spanish-American War. In 1895 many Americans sided with Cuban

rebels in an uprising in the Spanish colony of Cuba.

Unit Five: American Vision

Chapter 14; Section One Overview; Becoming a World Power:1890 to 1920

Americans had close economic and trade ties to Cuba, and yellow journalism played to their sympathies. President

William McKinley tried to negotiate a peaceful end to the rebellion. However, when the U.S.S. Maine exploded off

the coast of Cuba, the press blamed Spain, and Americans called for war. The U.S. Navy proved its superiority over the Spanish fleet, while American troops led successful ground attacks. Spanish resistance ended with the surrender of the

Cuban city of Santiago.

• A horse was put out to pasture after his final loss in the Kentucky Derby. One day, wanting for something to stop the boredom the horses got together and played a game of baseball. The horse hit 10 home runs in a row. A scout saw him and signed him to a major league deal. When in Yankee’s Stadium, he hit a homer off the first pitch. His manager came out of the dugout yelling, “Run, run, run…” The horse answered, “if I could run I’d still be in the Kentucky Derby!”

Objective

• Identify why the United States wanted territory in Asia.

• Identify ways in which other presidents built upon Teddy Roosevelt's foreign policy

Overview

• Theodore Roosevelt took charge. Because Roosevelt intended to make the United States a world power, his administration involved itself in the politics of foreign nations. In Asia, American leaders worked to maintain an Open Door Policy—full access to China's lucrative markets. Roosevelt gained worldwide recognition for his role in negotiating a peace between Japan and Russia. He used a "big stick" policy to secure the right to build the Panama Canal, while the Roosevelt Corollary warned foreign powers that the United States would intervene to maintain stability in Latin American. President William Taft continued Roosevelt's mission of enhancing American influence in the Western Hemisphere, but his dollar diplomacy put less emphasis on military strength and more emphasis on helping Latin American and Asian industry. President Wilson believed in "moral diplomacy" and tried to encourage democracy in Latin America, but he still ended up sending troops to Mexico in 1914.

Imperialism and Progressivism

Unit Five: American Vision

Chapter 15

The Progressive Movement

Section One

Chapter 15; The Progressive Movement Chapter Overview

This chapter explains how Americans' responses to the problems of the early 1900s shaped attitudes,

government, and society during the Progressive Era.

Objective

Discuss and identify the reasons for and the beginnings of progressivism.

Chapter 15; The Progressive Movement; Section One

Progressives were people of faith and often focused on

making government more efficient, while others worked to make government more responsive to voters. Together

these activists impacted government on the local, state, and national levels. Many progressive women concluded that they needed the vote to promote social reform, and they rallied behind the suffrage movement. Progressives, who

focused on social welfare issues such as alcohol abuse, child labor, and the health and safety of Americans, created

charities and won reforms on specific issues. Some progressives advocated the creation of government

agencies to regulate big business, while others thought socialism would solve society's problems.

Describe how the progressive movement entered national politics

during Theodore Roosevelt's administration.

Unit Five: American Vision Chapter 15; Section Two; The Progressive Movement

Roosevelt's expanded use of presidential power changed the nature of the presidency and significantly increased the

powers of the federal government. In promoting progressive reforms, he wanted to ensure that the interests of private concerns did not hurt public interest. His threat of military

intervention during a miner's strike expanded the government's role in preventing conflicts between the

nation's different groups. Roosevelt's efforts to conserve the nation's resources and to prevent unregulated exploitation

of public lands became a distinguishing mark of his presidency.

Opening Questions Chapter 15;

Roosevelt and Taft

In what ways did Roosevelt and Taft improve working conditions, control big business, and support conservation at the turn of the 1900’s? Write for two-minutes Discuss for two-minutes What is depicted in the photograph above?

This photograph depicts what would be called a sweatshop. Between 1850 and 1900, sweatshops attracted the rural poor to rapidly-growing cities, and attracted immigrants to places like London, England and New York City's garment district,

located near the tenements of New York's Lower East Side. Wherever they were located, sweatshops

also attracted critics and labor leaders who cited them as crowded, poorly ventilated, and prone to fires and rat infestations, since much of the work

was done by many people crowded into small tenement rooms.

The World At War Section One

Objective

• Discuss and identify the events that pushed the United States into World War I, including (but not limited to) alliances, militarism, and nationalism.

Overview

• The Allies—Russia, France, Italy, and Britain—squared off against the Central Powers—Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. Wilson was determined that the United States would remain neutral even though American ties to Allied heritage, business, and finances swayed many to sympathize with the Allied cause.

Overview

• When German U-boats sank passenger liners with Americans onboard, Wilson issued strong warnings and secured a pledge from Germany that kept the peace a little longer. His peacekeeping efforts won him reelection, but the peace would not last long. A message indicating a Mexican-German alliance and another series of U-boat attacks finally pushed Wilson to ask for a declaration of war on April 2, 1917.

Germany, Americans at home united to support the war. Congress created special boards to coordinate the efforts of business and labor. To fund the war effort, the government raised taxes, instituted new taxes, and sold bonds. While soldiers fought the war overseas, the Committee on Public Information used propaganda to urge cooperation at home. A massive campaign of propaganda is put forth to encourage Americans to support the war. Convoys are used to transport troops on land and on the sea. Factories turn to making war goods and weapons.

One Week, silent Buster Keaton Film

Tuesday, November 20, 2012

Buster Keaton, Actor

• When, at six months, he tumbled down a flight of stairs unharmed, he was given the name "Buster" by Harry Houdini who, along with W.C. Fields, Bill Robinson ("Bojangles"), Eddie Cantor and Al Jolson shared headlines with "The Three Keatons": Buster, his father Joe Keaton and mother Myra Keaton. Their act, one of the most dangerous in vaudeville, was about how to discipline a prankster child. Buster was thrown all over the stage and even into the audience. No matter what the stunt, he was poker-faced. By age 21, his father was so alcoholic the stunts became too dangerous to perform and the act dissolved. He first saw a movie studio in March 1917 and, on April 23, his debut film, Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle's The Butcher Boy (1917), was released. He stayed with Fatty through 15 two-reelers, even though he was offered much more to sign with Fox or Warner Bros. after returning from ten months with the U.S. Army (40th Infantry Division) in France. His first full-length feature, The Saphead (1920), established him as a star in his own right.
