A Fair Field and No Favor!
Uncle Sam, “I’m out for commerce, not conquest!”
In this cartoon, Uncle Sam restrains the militaristic aggression of the European Great Powers—France, Russia, Germany, and Italy—while China desirously eyes an American-made train engine, sewing machine, and other U.S. commercial products. In the left-background, Britain’s John Bull doffs his hat approvingly at Uncle Sam’s behavior. The only major player missing from the scene is Japan, whose emergence as a Great Power and intervention in China following the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was key to spurring other nations to compete for economic and political influence there.
