"American imperialism" is a term that refers to the economic, military, and cultural influence of the United States on other countries. First popularized during the presidency of James K. Polk, the concept of an "American Empire" was made a reality throughout the latter half of the 1800s. During this time, industrialization caused American businessmen to seek new international markets in which to sell their goods. In addition, the increasing influence of social Darwinism led to the belief that the United States was inherently responsible for bringing concepts such as industry, democracy, and Christianity to less developed "savage" societies. The combination of these attitudes and other factors led the United States toward imperialism.

But now the question is, To what degree did the American society and government live up to its own ideals of liberty and equality between 1880 and 1920 ? To answer that question, the simple answer is no. The reason being is because for one, the United States was constantly oppressing countries like Cuba and the Philippians as the United States denied them the right to self govern. Also when the U.S was in occupation of the Philippians, many philpenos were killed because of lack of food and water. Over 200,000 were killed. Causing the philipenos to rebel and put America into a bloody civil war with Emilio Aguinaldo and his followers. With that, over 24,000 more lives were killed. Another example was in Cuba when the Untied States did not grant Cuba the opportunity to self govern. Instead of granting Cuba its right as a foreign country to self govern. The U.S forced the Cubans to ratify a constitution were the U.S got involved in Cuba's political affairs. To top it all off the U.S did not grant the citizens of these countries under U.S rule a fair citizenship. To conclude the U.S The U.S did not live up to its own ideals as the government went against the constitution as they did not give fair citizenship to all its people and the right for a country to have its own right to self govern.

Between the year 1880-1929, The Unites States was a world power.  The United States had acquired Alaska from Russia for 20 million. Then the U.S took over Hawaii, Guam, and the midway Islands. Then then U.S.A went to war with Spain has the S.S Main was mysteriously blown up during the second Cuban revolution. With that, the U.S declared war against the Spanish were the United States took the Philippians, and multiple Caribbean islands such as Puerto Rico and Cuba from Spain. At this point in time the United States was a world power as the U.S had a very strong economy and strong military and navy to back it up. However a lot of foreign countries under U.S control wanted independence like the Philippines and Cuba. However since the U.S was heavily invested in those country's. They would not relinquish there power over those territories till decadents later. However some Islands like Puerto Rico remain under U.S control but still debating today weather to be a state or have it's own self government. Despite relinquishing it power over other countries, the U.S was still a power house even up to today.

American Imperialism in China and the Philippines

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Overview

So, as an overview, in this lesson, we are covering a diverse amount of influences of imperialism. Imperialism is when a nation works to expand its power and influence. The two primary methods of imperialism are military conquest and political diplomacy. The four affected areas we will talk about are: Hawaii, China, Japan and the Philippines.

Hawaii

So, to start with Hawaii: If the issue of how Hawaii became a part of the U.S. wasn't so alarming, it could almost be comical. Believe it or not, the president of the U.S. wanted Hawaii to retain its sovereignty. It was basically taken over by an American fruit baron!

Let's take this one from the top! In 1849, Hawaii became a protectorate of the U.S. This happened through economic treaties. These treaties led to a buildup of American business people operating in Hawaii. Over time, these business people pressured the king to limit voting rights to wealthy land owners. Most of these people were foreigners. From this time on, the Hawaiian legislature was pretty much dominated by foreign influence.

The Bayonet Constitution: In 1887, the American, European and elite Hawaiian natives in the Hawaiian government passed a new constitution, stripping the monarchy of its power. They used military force to make the king sign it.

Queen Lili'uokalani: After her brother's death, Queen Lili'uokalani ascended to the throne in 1891, and in response to her people, she started to work on a new constitution for Hawaii, which would reinstate the veto power of the monarchy. It would also give voting rights back to the disenfranchised, poor native Hawaiians. Basically, prominent American and European business people, most prominently, Sanford B. Dole, who didn't want to lose control, seized power and had the Queen imprisoned. These business people wanted Hawaii annexed to the U.S. This would get rid of taxes on goods from Hawaii and make a lot of money for Dole and his cohorts. Hawaii had enjoyed a tariff-free, favored trade status through a treaty signed in 1875. When the McKinley Tariff went through in 1890, it drastically raised the price of imports.

The Republic of Hawaii was officially established on July 4, 1894. Sanford B. Dole was the first president. The President of the United States, Grover Cleveland, and his administration, researched and found that the overthrowing of Queen Lili'uokalani was illegal, and actually wanted the Queen returned to power. But, Hawaii became a protectorate of the United States and in 1897, under President McKinley, was made an American Territory.

China

Moving on to China: Dealing with Hawaii in the era of U.S. imperialism in this short form was tough, and Hawaii was only a small island kingdom. China is one of the largest and oldest kingdoms on earth, so we are going to stick to the main points.

Through much of the 19th century, imperialistic powers were vying for financial dominance in China, most notably France, Germany, Britain, Italy, Japan, Russia and, of course, the U.S. The U.S. began to worry that their financial interests were in jeopardy. So, the U.S. Secretary of State, John Hay, contacted the nations involved and asked for an agreement that all these powers have equal access to China. This is known as the Open Door Policy. Notice in all of this, the party that was not engaged was the Chinese. There were pro-Western Chinese, but many were not happy about these foreign powers doing as they wished in their home country.

It is worth noting that in China the Yuan Dynasty had been a foreign power, Mongolian to be specific, and they ruled for 100 years. And, the Qing Dynasty, in power during the Open Door Policy, was actually Manchurian. China had certainly dealt with foreigners interested in China for a long time!

The Boxer Rebellion: A group of Chinese nationalists, the Righteous Harmony Society, fed up with foreign imperialists and Christianity encroaching on their homeland, began to grow! At first the Dowager Empress who ruled China did not back the Boxers, but in time the Chinese government basically secretly worked with the Boxers in an attempt to oust the foreign invaders. The Society members were referred to as Boxers because of their vigorous physical and martial arts training. The Boxers were told that their training would protect them from bullets - that's right, bullets. In actuality, they were able to be killed by bullets.

The foreign powers came together with an international force and brutally crushed the Boxers. Even though the Boxers were basically destroyed, they had one major accomplishment. The Boxer Rebellion created a swell of Chinese nationalism. Because of the Boxers, many Chinese nationalists continued to fight the imperial powers.

Japan and the Gentlemen's Agreement

OK, so here's a little add-on about Japan and the Gentlemen's Agreement. In the late part of the 19th century, there was a large amount of Japanese immigration to the U.S., particularly to California. By 1906, Japanese immigrants made up about one percent of California's population. This began to cause a great deal of prejudice against Japanese in San Francisco. They even began to insist that the Japanese be educated in segregated schools.
