Could someone just read over my essay? The prompt is Evaluate the motivations for the imperialist actions of the United States t

hat began in the 1890s. How did supporters of imperialism justify specific acts of American foreign policy at the time?
It was the early 1900s and the nation was divided on whether or not the US should become an imperialist nation. The Philippines and Hawaii had both been annexed. These expansions drew supporters of imperialism, but also those who were opposed to the foreign policy. People thought upon the question if the benefits of imperialism outweighed the morals and negatives? Imperialism was necessary since it brought economic growth and prosperity to America. These benefits were showcased in the US territory of Hawaii and the passage known as the Panama Canal.
The annexation of Hawaii proved to be beneficial to the American economy. Hawaii provided a port for ships to stop and resupply on their trading routes across the Pacific. This allowed American ships to reach East Asia and establish an economic presence thereby boosting American economy through exportation and importation. Hawaii was a major exporter of the popular product sugar to the US. Once Hawaii was annexed it was economically integrated which met that plantation owners didn’t have to pay the tariff on sugar anymore. This allowed more sugar to be imported into the US and increased commerce in both Hawaii and the US, while also benefiting both of their economies. When Hawaii was annexed it expanded the market of American goods to more Hawaiins. The expanded market also increased demand resulting in higher production. The end and the most important factor was that it increased trade which boosted the American economy. Hawaii was a good representation of the positive effects that resulted from imperialism. Benefits were also shown in the US territory/passage known as the Panama Canal.
The construction of the Panama Canal was extremely beneficial to the American economy. Before the Panama Canal was built ships on the East coast of the US had to go all the way around South America to reach the Pacific Ocean. Once it was built they only had to reach Panama for the canal which shortened the trip greatly. This resulted in shipping and trading becoming more efficient and affordable which benefited the US economy. The US owned the Panama Canal which was arguably the most important trade passage in the Western hemisphere giving them more control and power. America could control rates and who could and couldn’t use the canal. This could be used to the advantage of domestic businesses by hurting the competition thereby boosting domestic business which would also benefit the US economy. The Panama Canal allowed for a US economic presence in Central America.

briefly describe the similarities between the feudal economic structure of medieval europe and medieval japan
Alona [7]
How Japanese Castles are similar to European Castles
1.They had large and tall walls for protection
2. They often had moats around them to discourage the digging of tunnels
3. They had narrow and steep stairways to make assault difficult
4. They had portholes for guns and for arrows
5. They often had a main gate area that could be used as a trap
6. They almost always had concentric rings of walls to give them multiple layers of protection
7.They capitalized on terrain features - often the best placement was at the top of a hill or small mountain. This gave a very advantageous position and view

DIFFERENCES
Unlike European feudalism Japan’s feudalism system did not have a true pyramid form with the monarch presiding over the less important nobles.

First, the authority in Japan was much less centralized than it was in the nation-states of Europe. Even though most of the local aristocrats paid lip service to the emperor, the rugged terrain of Japan made it very difficult for the emperor to fully control the local aristocracy. Therefore the local aristocrats had much more power in Japan than they ever had in France, Britain, or any other European country.

Secondly, even though the lower nobility in Japan (the samurai) swore fealty to their local lords, the local lords didn’t give the samurai any land of their own. When the European nobility receives land in exchange for their military services, the samurai did not join a landowning hierarchy. Instead of that they were given an independent income from their local lord based upon what that lord’s lands produced.

In contrast, European knights usually had their own serfs to work the land the knights received from their lord. While a Japanese samurai might have had servants, these servants did not work the land the way they would have done in Europe.
