Imperialism
Imperialism is the policy in which stronger nations extend their
economic, political, or military control over weaker territories
EUROPEAN IMPERIALISM
European nations had been establishing colonies for centuries . By the late 19th century,
Africa had emerged as a prime target of European expansionism . Britain, France, Belgium, Italy,
Germany, Portugal, and Spain competed for African raw materials and markets .The European countries
were industrial nations and needed the raw materials from Asia and Africa to keep their industries
going. These ambitious nations carved up Africa and distributed control of the pieces among
themselves.
By the early 20th century, only Ethiopia and Liberia remained independent.The rest
of Africa had been divided into European colonies . Americans watched as Great Britain acquired
territory not only in Africa but in Asia and the Pacific as well. Soon the expression "The sun
never sets on the British Empire" became astonishingly accurate . During the reign of Queen
Victoria (1837-1901), Britain built an empire that included a quarter of the world's land and
people .
| JAPANESE IMPERIALISM
Imperialism also surfaced in parts of Asia
during this period. In its late-19th-century reform era, Japan replaced its old feudal order
with a central government modeled on the bureaucracies of Western nations . Hoping that military
strength would bolster industrialization, Japan joined European nations in their imperialist
competition in China in the 1890s. Although the United States did not seek colonies in Asia, it did
compete with other nations to expand trading opportunities with China. | | |

American Imperialism???
Most Americans gradually warmed to the idea of
expansion overseas . With a belief in manifest destiny, they already had pushed the U .S. border to
the Pacific Ocean . Manifest Destiny was a believe that the United States were destined to
reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean.
Three factors fueled the new American
imperialism : (1) economic competition among industrial nations ; (2) political and military
competition, including the creation of a strong naval force; and (3) a belief in the superiority of
European countries and the United States.
Of course many social scientists would argue that
America was only doing what all nations do, she was acting in her own self interest.

A THIRST FOR NEW MARKETS
In the United States, imperialism had economic
roots, just as it did in Europe and Japan. Advances in technology enabled American farms and
factories to produce far more than American citizens could consume. Now the United States needed raw
materials for its factories and new markets for its manufactured goods. Imperialists viewed foreign
trade as the solution to overproduction and the related problems of unemployment and economic
depression. Indiana senator Albert J. Beveridge, a staunch imperialist, defended the pursuit of new
territories on economic grounds.
By the turn of the century, the United States had started to
fulfill Beveridge's goals. American exports, which had totaled $234 million at the end of the
Civil War, rose to $1.5 billion by 1900. By achieving a favorable balance of trade (exporting more
than it imported), the United States had become a leading economic power.

| DESIRE FOR MILITARY STRENGTH
Seeing that other nations were
establishing a global military presence, American foreign-policy experts advised that the United
States build up its own military strength . Admiral Alfred T. Mahan, president of the Naval
War College in Newport, Rhode Island, had become one of the most outspoken advocates of American
military expansion .
In The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783 (1890), Mahan
argued for a strong U.S . navy to defend the peacetime shipping lanes essential to American economic
growth . He said the nation also needed strategically located bases where its fleets could refuel .
Mahan urged the United States to develop a modern fleet, establish naval bases in the Caribbean,
construct a canal across the Isthmus of Panama, and acquire Hawaii and other Pacific
islands.
The United States built nine steel-hulled cruisers between 1883 and 1890. The
construction of modern battleships such as the Maine and the Oregon transformed the country into the
world's third largest naval power. With a modern fleet, the United States set out to accomplish
the protectionist goals Mahan had recommended. | | |

The United States Takes Hawaii
![nar005-1.jpg](cst_ch-10_files/nar005-1.jpg) The Hawaiian Islands had been economically important to the United
States for nearly a century. Since the 1790s, American merchants had stopped there on their way to
China and East India. In the 1820s, Yankee missionaries founded Christian schools and churches on the
islands. Next came sugar merchants, who eventually changed the Hawaiian
economy.
HAWAII'S ECONOMY
In the mid-19th century, American-owned sugar
plantations accounted for about three-quarters of the islands' wealth . Plantation owners
imported thousands of laborers from Japan, Portugal, and China. By 1900, foreigners and immigrant
laborers outnumbered native Hawaiians about three to one .
Planters profited from close ties
with the United States . An 1875 treaty allowed the sale of Hawaiian sugar in the United States
without a duty. In 1887, business leaders in Hawaii forced King Kalakaua to change Hawaii's
constitution to grant voting rights only to wealthy landowners . This change basically gave control
of Hawaii's government to the American businessmen. Also in 1887, the United States strong-armed
Hawaii into signing a treaty allowing the construction of an American naval base at Pearl
Harbor.
The McKinley Tariff of 1890 provoked a crisis by eliminating the duty-free status of
Hawaiian sugar. As a result, Hawaiian sugar growers faced competition in the American market,
especially from Cuban sugar. American planters in Hawaii called for the United States to annex the
islands so they wouldn't have to pay the duty.

Queen Liliuokalani THE QUEEN
IS DEPOSED
When King Kalakaua died in 1891, his sister, Liliuokalani, became queen.
Liliuokalani proposed a new constitution that would remove property qualifications for voting . This
change would have restored political power over the islands to native Hawaiians. | To prevent this from happening, business groups-with the
help of U.S. ambassador John L,. Stevens-organized a revolution against the queen . On the night of
January 16, 1893, the U .S .S . Boston appeared in Honolulu harbor. Following Stevens's orders,
American marines moved ashore, supposedly to protect American lives and property. At the same time,
volunteer troops took over the government building, imprisoned the queen in her palace, and
established a provisional government with Sanford B. Dole as president.
REPUBLIC OF
HAWAII
Stevens immediately recognized the provisional government, which sent a commission
to Washington, D.C. and asked that the islands be annexed. Later a U.S. special investigator blamed
Stevens for the revolution,
President Cleveland directed that the queen be restored to her
throne . When Dole refused to surrender power, Cleveland-unwilling to use force formally recognized
the Republic of Hawaii, but he refused to consider annexation unless a majority of Hawaiians favored
it.
In 1897, William McKinley, who favored annexation, succeeded Cleveland as president. On
August 12, 1898, Congress proclaimed Hawaii an American territory, without Hawaiians having had the
chance to vote on annexation . At the same time, Cuba, an island much closer to the U.S . mainland,
attracted U.S. attention | | |
