Study Guide Expansionism Social Studies, Grade 8
EXPANSIONISM
Over
the
past
two
centuries,
the
Unites
States
has
sought
to
expand
its
territories
both
in
North
America
and
other
parts
of
the
world.
While
one
of
the
biggest
reasons
for
this
is
to
continue
economic
growth,
during
the
end
of
the
19th
century
and
the
beginning
of
the
20th,
America
found
itself
in
a
position
to
demonstrate
its
strength
by
intervening
in
other
countries.
One
example
of
American
involvement
in
other
countries’
affairs
is
the
decision
to
enter
the
Spanish-American
War.
After
America
helped
Cuba
gain
independence,
we
made
territorial
acquisitions
that
largely
benefited
America
on
an
economic
level.
This
war
established
that
the
United
States
place
in
the
world
economy
was
becoming
more
substantial.
Despite
being
United
States
territories,
the
citizens
of
many
of
these
places
were
not
granted
the
same
rights
as
United
States
citizens.
This,
in
addition
to
the
moral
and
ethical
issues
that
the
Anti-
Imperialist
League
saw
in
the
actions
of
the
United
States,
constitutes
the
argument
against
U.S.
territorial
expansion
at
the
time.
However,
some
countries,
like
Cuba
and
Panama,
were
in
desperate
need
of
help
in
order
to
become
independent
nations
and
survive
economically
and
socially.
In
many
cases,
the
United
States
helped
countries
find
social,
economical,
and
political
stability.
