The United States became a large and strong nation by concurring or influencing territories. This was the beginning to the United States' way to becoming a world power. The United States decided to be a protectorate Cuba. After the Spanish-American war was over America wanted to restore order in Cuba and Puerto Rico. American investments so President McKinley set up military governments on each Island. After setting bases on the Islands McKinley appointed Leonard Wood as governor of Cuba in 1899. The United States wanted control over Cuba. America also forced Cuba to include a Platt Amendment in (1901) as a part of its new constitution, which limited the ability for Cuba to sign treaties with other nations. This amendment also forced Cuba to rent or lease land to the American government as property. The Platt Amendment made clear that Cuba was a protectorate of the U.S. When Cuba accepted this agreement America withdrew its troops. The reason the United States took Cuba over is simple. They wanted to concur land and help the Cubans due to the unorderly state of the country. The United States was not justified in these actions because if you go in to help a country you don’t assign amendments so no treaties can be made with other countries and gave the U.S. to intervene between Cuban affairs. This does not seem as help but as a way to concur the country. American did the wrong thing with the whole Pl... ... middle of paper ... ...ke it independent.

Usually America would just try to keep up with world dominance. America did things just to look good. They did not need Hawaii and the Philippines.

America's History of Failed Attempts at Intervening with Foreign Governments
opinion essay
As we have learned, the United States’ desire to control Soviet assistance to other nations is somewhat overstated, and often does more harm than good. Nicaragua and Cuba are prime examples of the conflict U.S. intervention causes. Some nations, like Cuba are able to recover, but other countries like Nicaragua never quite recuperate from U.S. intervention. On the surface, the U.S. ideals of spreading democracy and bringing freedom to other nations seems like a good one, but they need to be examined further, as these tasks never are the ones accomplished. Perhaps, what the United States really needs to do is step back and look at their history in order to create a better future.

The Age Of Imperialism In The Age Of Imperialism
explanatory essay
The Modern Olympic Games were a product of their times. After France was embarrassingly defeated in the Franco-Prussian war in 1871, the French people were left with a feeling of inadequacy. These feelings of inadequacy became a driving force for Baron Pierre de Coubertin in his quest to revive the Olympic Games. During the dominant times of The Age of Imperialism, some of the more successful countries found a way to incorporate sports into their educational systems. The competitive values reinforced by sports led to a more competitive society. When Coubertin was examining the societies of more successful countries, he found this to be true and an idea began forming in his mind about how to solve France’s problems. This idea evolved into what is known today as the Olympic Games. What intellectual, geographical, and social factors led to the evolution of the games into both a political and athletic organization? The ideas that sports and competition are beneficial to “peaceful internationalism” reiterated by Coubertin formed the basic principles by which the International Olympic Committee was governed.

Imperialism In America
analytical essay
During the late 1890s, the United States was experiencing great economic growth. The need for new economic markets for America’s booming manufacturing stirred a growing number to look toward American expansionism as a legitimate means to increase American power in the world. At the same time, European countries had long been engaging in a foreign policy of colonizing areas away from their sovereign land. Imperialism is the belief that a country should expand to other lands for economic, political, and cultural reasons. The expansion of the American empire during this time opened up new markets and resources, expanded democracy, and spread Christianity. Admiral Alfred T. Mahan, in his 1890 book, The Influence of Sea Power in History, argued that without a dominant navy, a country would be excluded from the profitable world trade markets and natural resources. In response, the United States began to look beyond its borders for naval strongholds.
