Warm Up # 22

Last class we discussed 4 main causes of Imperialism. What are each of the 4 and why are they important? Slide2

US Foreign Policy

at the turn of the centurySlide3

USS Maine

Cuba was a Spanish Colony, but was fighting for its independence. Many Americans supported the Cubans in this struggle.

Regardless of what really happened, most Americans blamed Spain for the explosion. Anger over the USS Maine, fanned by “Yellow Journalism” led to a declaration of war.Slide4

Guam

Guam was annexed by the United States in 1898.

Guam is still an unincorporated territory of the United States.Slide5

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico was Annexed by the United States at the end of the Spanish American War.

Puerto Rico, like Guam, became an unincorporated territory and is a US

commonwealth today.Slide6

Philippines

The United States annexed the Philippines as part of the Treaty of Paris and agreed to pay Spain $20 million for the territory.

Filipino troops attacked American soldiers though. To fight the Filipinos Americans used many of the same tactics that they had condemned Spain for (such as concentration camps).

While fighting the rebels the United States attempted to win the population over with various reforms:

Education, transportation, health care

Hostilities ended in 1902 and the Philippines gained their independence in 1946.Slide7

Cuba

After the war the United States set up military government in Cuba even though they had promised to grant Cuba its independence.

The Cubans were forced to sign the Platt Amendment which basically made them an American protectorate.

Cuba was forced to lease a naval station to the United States.

The United States still operates Guantanamo Bay in Cuba;

It is the oldest overseas U.S. Naval Base, and the only U.S. military installation in a country with whom the United States has no diplomatic relationsSlide8

Crashcourse

US History

start at 5:53Slide9

One day at school you notice a huge ring of students jostling and pushing. As you get closer, you hear some of the students yelling “fight!” Like the rest, you want to see what is happening. Finally finding a vantage point, you see two students threatening one another. One is a good friend; the other is a former friend and current enemy who owes you money. What will you do?

Discuss the following options with your partner

:

Turn away and leave because the fight does not concern you and getting involved will only mean trouble.

Convince a couple of friends to help you separate the two students before they hurt each other.

Get into the fight on your friend’s side and punch out the former friend who owes you money since he deserves it.

Punch out both students to show the rest of the school who is the toughest kid on campus.Slide10
