If you think of European empire prior to the 19th century, where did they extend their control over other lands? It was mostly in the Western hemisphere. France and Spain and others had large colonial territories in the Americas. During the years following the French Revolution in Europe (which happened at the end of the 18th century), Napoleon came to power and the Napoleonic wars were fought across Europe. The focus of Napoleon's attention was on Europe, not on colonies across the ocean. So, for instance, he sold off the Louisiana Purchase to the United States. Elsewhere across the Americas, native populations took advantage of the changes in Europe to rebel against colonial governments. Napoleon had taken control over Spain and other parts of Europe as well as France, and a wave of independence movements broke out in colonial territories in Central America and South America.
When Europe resumed efforts to extend its control over other parts of the world, later in the 19th century (and into the early 20th century), they shifted their focus to Africa and Asia. There was a race for controlling territories across all of Africa and especially in southeast Asia. In Africa, only Ethiopia and Liberia managed to maintain their independence from European control when that wave of imperialist action took place.
Answer:
The spirit of the 19th-century doctrine of Manifest Destiny justified the expansion of the US across the American continent. It was seen as an inevitable and justified measure.
Explanation:
Manifest destiny was implicit in many federal policies towards the Native American communities as the country expanded West. The expansion of the United States meant that white settlers were increasingly occupying lands that belonged to the Native Americans. Many people like the Cherokee had already been pushed off their lands in the Southeast and were now facing further pressure. This ultimately led to confrontations and wars with groups of native peoples. For example, the Plains Wars were a series of conflicts from in the 1850s through the 1870s between Native Americans and the United States over control of the Great Plains. This region was located between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains.
