What were the benefits to US for getting involved in imperialism?

History

Arisa [49]3 years ago

There are several advantages, as well as drawbacks, in adopting imperialistic policies. Some of the advantages are acquiring more territory (which comes with more population, resources, etc.), having a larger market for economic purposes, and collecting more tax revenue. Some of the drawbacks are damaging a country's reputaton in the international arena, having to militarily protect a larger territory, and being responsible for the welfare of a larger number of citizens.

The U. S. was seen as a force that could help maintain peace and freedom in the world, and as a protection against tyrannical governments. However, after its foreign policy turned more imperialistic, countries around the world became doubtful about accepting U. S. help or intervention. This reputation of catastrophic involvement is similar to the one other colonial powers had, such as the United Kingdom and France.

The foreign policy goals of the U. S. as it moved into the 20th century are difficult to establish. On the one hand, the U. S. was still interested in maintaining its power around the world, but on the other hand, they were aware of the negative connotations of imperialism. The country adopted a policy of influence through soft power, which it maintains to this day.

Which factor contributed most to the beginning of the women's-rights movement in the United States during the mid-1800s?

<span>Good Morning!
 
</span><span>A dramatic increase in women's participation in the workforce
</span><span>

The intensification of women's work was a profound motivation for their requests for political space. Blacks had not yet gained their place in the 1800s because of the resistance of prejudice and their negative image to society, so it was not only a question of feminine equality with blacks, since even after the suffrage of the Afro- Americans, black women had to fight.
