During the Time Periods of the Late 1800’s Through the Early 1900’s Many Countries Were Trying to Gain Power. There Were Many Different Trends That Were Taking Place During These Times to Help These Countries Gain
DBQ
Intro: During the time periods of the late 1800’s through the early 1900’s many countries were trying to gain power. There were many different trends that were taking place during these times to help these countries gain control like Colonialism/ Imperialism, Nationalism, and American domination.
The first major trend is Colonialism and Imperialism. Document 1 shows colonization/ imperialism by the president wanting America to take control of most of the world if they don’t choose to run how Americans believe they should. POV: in Document 1 it isn’t surprising that President Roosevelt would say this because he is the president of the United States and wants them to have as much power over the world as possible. Document 3 also shows colonization/ imperialism because the Dutch were trying to colonize the Java and people from Java didn’t like them trying to change their history. This document shows how older people in the countries didn’t want things to change and didn’t want to have to accept the new ways of ruling and colonizing by other nations. Document 4 is a picture of a European standing over Africa this shows colonization because the Europeans tried to colonize Africa. Document 5 is a picture that shows that both France and the English have colonized the Africans. Document 6 shows the United States helping other countries colonize. Additional Document that would be helpful here would be a map or chart or even a picture that showed were all Europe had colonized so we could better understand where all European colonization had taken place.
The next major trend is Nationalism. Document 2 shows Nationalism because the Jews wanted to live and there homeland which shoes pride in their nation. POV: It is not surprising that Balfour would write this document because he is a Zionist leader and wants the best for his people. Document 3 also shows nationalism because the father didn’t like that his son spoke Dutch to him

    Various leaders of this document, “Debating the Balfour Declaration: The British Government Supports a Jewish Homeland in Palestine”, envision the impact of creating a Jewish state on Jews living in other countries would be a great change to the world. For instance, Jules Cambon sent a letter to Nahum Sokolow stating that creating a Jewish state would be a deed of justice. Because the French Government entered a war, creating a Jewish state would give a home for the Jewish people and give Jews from all parts of the world to migrate together. Many Jews didn’t agree with the idea of combining Jews together such as the English Jews. Even though they didn’t agree, other Jews in larger numbers were understanding to…

    Document H says "… the power to acquire territory by treaty implies not only the power to govern such territory, but to prescribe upon what terms the United States will receive its' inhabitants…" By using treaties, the U.S Government was annexing new lands and gaining "territories". However, the government, at the same time, was denying the inhabitants of the new land the right to U.S citizenship. The U.S government was interested only in the land gained by these annexations and not the people living on the land. Document E shows the second idea, the idea of power, the U.S politicians held over the newly annexed lands. "… The power that rules the Pacific… is the power that rules the world. And…that power is and will forever be the American Republic." Politicians saw that by annexing lands such as the Philippians, Hawaii, Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba, a nation we now do not control, the government was fulfilling the idea that America was destined to be a "world…

    Effects of Imperialism DBQ

    • 5 Pages

    During this time of new imperialism spreading, many stereotypes and were made and people were judged. This can be proved by documents 3,4, and 6. Document 3 is most likely made from the point of view of an English cartoonist because it biased against the African and Chinese people pulling the Englishman, saying that the lowly people pulling the man is the civilized way of doing it around there. This gives the idea that Asians and Africans were not considered civilized and were thought of to be used to cater to the needs of a superior race. Document 4 was most likely written from the point of view of an African slave and was biased against white men. He talks about white men like they were all the same and once they got involved with the imperialism they all ruined once good things. A British Imperialist in Africa biased toward the British wrote document 6. It says that the British are the best and most honorable humans in the world and that they are superior to the Africans. This gave them the stereotype that they think that they are better than everyone else. Also, from imperialism came economic success for both the oppressors and the oppressed. This can be proved by documents 1, 2, and 5. Parker T. Moore, a man studying the effects of imperialism writes document 1 and there seems to be no bias because he is just stating faces. He brings up the fact that imperialism is necessary for the economy of a certain area…

    In the nineteenth century, with the American revolution and, shortly after, the independence of the Latin American countries, this first imperialist wave was over. Nevertheless, a new kind of imperialism emerged. Its focus changed to the direct conquest of large territories in the Asian and African continents and to the massive colonization of some territories by European settlers, as well as the maintenance of commercial interests, now supplemented by investment flows. European empires would only end in the…

    In the 1890’s, the idea of imperialism had begun imprinting itself in American minds. Many Americans began to believe that the United States was either going to explode or expand. Our country had a new sense of power which was generated from the growth of our industry and wealth. There were Americans who had pushed the idea of imperialism through books and articles, calling it the adventures of childhood dreams. The first moments had begun with President Cleveland and his secretary of state James G. Blaine. Imperialism had come off as an idea that benefited the world but, the cold hard truth was that we were simply just benefiting ourselves. Our new international interests began in several ways. Blaine had pushed the Big Sister policy, with this policy we were able to get the Latin Americans to rally with Uncle Sam. This give off an impression that we want to help out the others, give them an idea of bond ship with the United States but in reality, what we truly wanted was their open markets and utilize them for ourselves. Document A shows how power-hungry we are, wanting “to show our strength” and wanting “the taste of Empire”. One of the first ways we showed off our new, violent, and power hungry status was in 1899 against Germany. The two nations had been bickering over the Samoan Islands. Luckily, this was resolved and no war broke out. Alaska, another area of issues that occurred between The U.S. and Canada. This fight was a more idealistic than self interest one though. The hostilities had begun with seal hunting which, the United States was against giving off their humanitarian ideology. Doc. B, provide an explanation of this by stating that “we cannot fly from our world duties”. Hawaii was another area of interest to America. It’s location was able to hold a naval and it was enriched with resources the nation could use. American planters were searching for ways to secure Hawaii’s annexation. The Queen of Hawaii was against this and…
