History

American foreign policy between 1890–1920 was a policy of territorial expansion and political assertiveness inspired mainly by the Manifest Destiny doctrine. It also sought to achieve economic supremacy over the rest of the world, notably European colonial Empires.

- The countries that the United States occupied or acquired. The more accurate question would be <em>territories </em>that the USA occupied or acquired since not all lands that the USA occupied were countries.

- Annexation of  the Kingdom of Hawaii (1898)

- Annexation of The Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam.

- The Panama Canal Zone

- The Banana wars, where many Central American countries were subject to various degrees of American intervention and/or occupation. These countries were Cuba, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

- The reasons some Americans supported imperialism:

- Racism (White man's burden)

- Economic Supremacy (over other colonial Empires that obtained enormous economic proceeds from their colonies)

- Political Supremacy in the American continent (over Spanish speaking countries and in order to force them into compliance with American dictates).

- Manifest Destiny (spread of democracy and civilization).

- The reasons other Americans opposed imperialism:

- Racism (annexing countries with non-White majorities would inevitably alter the racial and ethnic makeup of the USA).

- Morality (contradiction with the democratic ideas of American democracy (the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights).

- Isolationism (the USA should remain outside of global affairs).

- Economic concerns (new territories would cost much to develop and assimilate into the fabric of mainstream American society, culture and economy)

Which of the following best describes the first two years of the American Revolution? A string of Continental army victories mad
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

I'd say A. a string of Continental army victories made the end of the war seem close.

Explanation:

During the first two years of the Revolutionary War, most of the fighting between the patriots and British took place in the north. At first, the British generally had their way because of their far superior sea power. Despite Washington's daring victories, the British still retained the initiative. Indeed, had British efforts been better coordinated, they probably could have put down the rebellion in 1777. Patriot forces, commanded by General Horatio Gates, achieved a significant victory at Saratoga, New York, in October 1777. Within months, this victory induced France to sign treaties of alliance and commerce with the United States. In retrospect, French involvement was the turning point of the war, although that was not obvious at the time.
