What was, is, and ought to be America’s role in the world? Informal “Socratic Circle” TODAY!

What was, is, and should be America’s role in the world? (U.S. foreign policy: past, present, & future!) At any given time, realism or idealism may dominate this country's relations with other nations. However, most of the time, U.S. foreign policy reflects a blend of the two schools of thought. What WERE America’s original principles, in terms of its foreign policy?How did U.S. foreign policy CHANGE in the 1800s? (late 19th centuryearly 1900s)?What IS the U.S.A. doing TODAY, in terms of its interaction with other nations?What SHOULD America be doing in the coming decades of the 21st century?

Do your best to make a meaningful & respectful contribution to an “intelligent conversation…”

What is “foreign policy?” A country 's foreign policy, also called the foreign relations policy, consists of self-interest strategies chosen by the state to safeguard its national interests and to achieve its goals within international relations milieu. The approaches are strategically employed to interact with other countries. In recent times, due to the deepening level of globalization and transnational activities, the states will also have to interact with non-state actors. The aforementioned interaction is evaluated and monitored in attempts to maximize benefits of multilateral international cooperation. Since the national interests are paramount, foreign policies are designed by the government through high-level decision making processes. National interests accomplishment can occur as a result of peaceful cooperation with other nations, or through exploitation. Usually, creating foreign policy is the job of the head of government and the foreign minister (or equivalent). In some countries the legislature also has considerable oversight.Why did WIKI make it sound so FOREIGN?!?!?!?!?! Go to ALIVE!, p. 247

foreign policy the set of goals, principles, and practices that guide a nation in its relations with other countries. realists and idealists shaped American foreign policy during the 1800s. What would guide your “foreign policy” doctrine? Pragmatism? Idealism? Both? Other?

What drives your decisions?

Regarding war & expansionism, what would you do?

What is the thesis (point) of this political cartoon?

Which is closer to “pragmatism:” realism or idealism? Realist : sees the world as it is and accepts it as is - does not try to change anything. Pragmatist: wishes the world was a better place but recognizes what it actually is - tries to improve things but recognizes that nothing changes overnight and that some things will never change. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_major_differences_between_realism_and_pragmatism

diplomacy the art of conducting negotiations with other nations. Diplomacy may lead to informal agreements as well as treaties. A second tool is financial aid in the form of grants or loans. Such aid can be used to support friendly nations or influence their policies. A third tool is the threat or the use of armed force.

realism in foreign policy, the belief that international relations should be guided by pragmatic self-interest-practical goals such as national defense and access to resources From this perspective, foreign policy should pursue practical objectives that benefit the American people. Such objectives might include national security, increased trade with other nations, and access to overseas resources.

idealism in foreign policy, the belief that moral values should influence international relations From this point of view, foreign policy should be used to promote America's founding ideals—particularly democracy, liberty, and rights—to ensure a better world not just for Americans, but for all people.

More terms foreign policy terms neutrality : the policy of not taking sides in wars between other nations unilateralism: a policy of not seeking military or political alliances with foreign powersUnder this policy, the United States "went it alone" in its relations with other countries. It did not seek either military or political alliances with foreign powers.

More terms foreign policy terms Monroe Doctrine : the declaration by President James Monroe in 1823 warning European powers against future colonization in the Western Hemisphere or interference in Latin American republicsRoosevelt added a “corollary”

More terms foreign policy terms cede : to give up or grant land to another country, typically by treatyimperialism: empire buildingprotectorate: a nation protected and controlled by a stronger nation

Ch. 10: America Claims an Empire answers to the “ ttt” questions Responses will vary but should include points similar to the following:1. American imperialism was shaped by economic competition for raw materials and new markets, political and military competition for power, and an ideology that considered English culture superior to others.2. The United States entered a war against Spain in 1898 and won Puerto Rico. It also purchased the Philippines and took a dominant role in Cuba.3. Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States, which chose its government. In Cuba, the United States secured passage of a new constitution that gave it the right to step in if it desired. In the Philippines, the United States fought Filipinos seeking to win full independence.4. Roosevelt asserted American power by leading negotiations to end a war between Russia and Japan, by sending a fleet around the world, and by helping Panama win independence so the United States could build the Panama Canal.

Ch. 19: Setting a Course of Expansionism During the 1800s, U.S. foreign policy was guided by two goals. The first was to keep the United States free of foreign alliances and out of foreign conflicts. The second was to expand the United States across the North American continent. As Americans began to look outward in the late 1800s, they debated the nation's proper role in world affairs. Realism and idealism U.S. foreign policy is generally a blend of realism and idealism. With realism, the focus is on practical concerns and national self-interest. With idealism, the focus is on moral values and the spread of American ideals. Neutrality and unilateralism Following the advice given by Washington in his Farewell Address, the United States tried to stay neutral in foreign wars and avoid alliances with other countries. The War of 1812 was fought in part to defend American rights as a neutral nation.The Monroe Doctrine The Monroe Doctrine warned European powers that the United States would view efforts to establish colonies in the Americas or interfere with new Latin American republics as hostile to its interests.Continental expansion Following a policy of expansion through diplomacy, the United States acquired the Louisiana Territory, Florida, Oregon Territory, and Alaska. By winning the Mexican War, it gained vast lands in the Southwest.Overseas expansion In the late 1800s, the United States began to look overseas for new territory and influence. At the same time, Americans began to debate the role and value of overseas expansion.

Ch. 20: The Spanish-America War As a result of its victory in the Spanish-American War, the United States became a world power with overseas possessions. In the eyes of many, the United States had become an imperialist nation. Cuban revolt Cubans rose up against Spanish rule in the late 1800s, and many were imprisoned in reconcentration camps. Many Americans sympathized with the Cubans' plight. Role of the press American newspapers exaggerated stories about the Cuban revolt to play on American sympathies and sell papers. Yellow journalism helped push the country toward war.The de Lôme Letter and the USS Maine Two incidents increased tensions between the United States and Spain. A letter from the Spanish ambassador criticizing President McKinley, followed by the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor, incited American anger.A "splendid little war" After negotiations failed, Congress declared war on Spain. The war, which lasted just four months, began in the Philippines and ended in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Many volunteers fought with the U.S. forces, including Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders. The most important battle of the war took place on San Juan Hill, outside Santiago.Arguing over imperialism The Treaty of Paris recognized the U.S. victory and left the United States in possession of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Members of the Anti-Imperialist League spoke out against the treaty, but it was eventually ratified by the Senate.Cuba and the Platt Amendment Although the Treaty of Paris granted independence to Cuba, the United States maintained control over the island. The Platt Amendment allowed the United States to intervene in Cuban affairs and establish military bases in Cuba.

Ch. 21: Acquiring and Managing Global Power At the start of the 20th century, the United States was an imperialist nation with overseas possessions. Three presidents—Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson—developed foreign policies designed to expand American power and protect American interests. Roosevelt Corollary President Roosevelt followed the Big Stick Policy in foreign affairs. In 1904, he issued the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. This policy called on the United States to use "international police power" to promote order and security in the Western Hemisphere. The use of force became a key element of foreign policy. Dollar Diplomacy President Taft's Dollar Diplomacy focused on economic goals overseas. He emphasized the spread of American influence through economic activity. But he also sent troops to protect American interests.Moral Diplomacy President Wilson favored a moral approach to foreign policy. He wanted to spread democratic ideals overseas. Yet he also used force to uphold American interests.Latin America The United States became deeply involved in Latin America in the early 1900s. It helped Panama gain independence and built the Panama Canal. It intervened in Mexico. It made Puerto Rico a U.S. possession.Asia and the Pacific The Philippines became a U.S. possession, and the United States put down an independence movement there. It annexed Hawaii after white planters overthrew the native monarchy. In China, it applied its Open Door Policy to limit foreign control and maintain access to Chinese markets.

Ch. 10: America Claims an Empire American imperialism was shaped by economic competition for raw materials and new markets, political and military competition for power, and an ideology that considered English culture superior to others. The United States entered a war against Spain in 1898 and won Puerto Rico. It also purchased the Philippines and took a dominant role in Cuba. Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States, which chose its government. In Cuba, the United States secured passage of a new constitution that gave it the right to step in if it desired. In the Philippines, the United States fought Filipinos seeking to win full independence. Roosevelt asserted American power by leading negotiations to end a war between Russia and Japan, by sending a fleet around the world, and by helping Panama win independence so the United States could build the Panama Canal.Name any two of the three factors that shaped American imperialism.2. Identify a former Spanish colony and BREIFLY explain how the US gained control of it. 3. List & describe one example of how the US administered its newfound territories. 4. Describe one way that President Theodore Roosevelt asserted American power.

What is OHP? Activity: Students will create an oral history project by researching an event or era in American history and interviewing a person who was a participant or witness to that event. Students will collaborate with other students to create a list of interview questions and use those questions to interview a person about their life. Students will use the information from the recorded interview to create a product that demonstrates their understanding of the interviewee’s experience within the context of the historical time period.  Requirements: Students will work collaboratively on the task but must turn in an individual product for the final grade.

OHP is a GREAT & CHALLENGING project! OHP proposal is a MINOR grade, but a “MAJOR misstep” if NOT completed THOUGHTFULLY!
