DO NOW: Watch the following video clip and take notes on the
following:
The Maine - What does the video say about McKinley's
personality vs. Roosevelt's? Why do we get involved in the
Spanish American War?
How does Teddy get involved in the war?
What do we get out of the Spanish American War?
Why would Teddy be apt (inclined) to be an Imperialist? What
does he do to earn that imperial crown? Who did he want to be
like?
What did we want Panama for? What did we (the US)encourage
the Panamanians to do?
What did the Panama Canal represent/does it demonstrate to
the world about the United States?

HAWAII:
What We Already Know...
What We Need to Know...
- Hawaii was one of the few places
available when the US got around to
imperialism.
- In 1893 United States planters staged an
uprising to overthrow the Queen. US
Marines stormed the Island and helped.
- President Grover Cleveland was very
against annexation and thought it was
shameful. People wanted it thought, so they
merely waited until he was out of office.
- 1898 war with Spain means Hawaii would
be a great naval base (we already have Pearl
Harbor) on the way to the Philippines, and
McKinley annexes HI as a territory after the
war until 1959 when it becomes a state.

What We Already Know...
What We Need to Know...

engineer of the New Panama Canal
Company and the US sent naval power to
support Panamanian rebels. The rebels
accepted TR's offer.

- The actual fighting is short, but Teddy
Roosevelt is a war hero in the process.

LATIN AMERICA:
What We Already Know...
What We Need to Know...
- The Roosevelt Corollary - add-on to the
Monroe Doctrine that would allow the US
to intercede on Latin American countries'
behalf.
- Between the SAW and the Great
Depression, the US took a vacation (aka
sent troops) to Latin America 32 times.
- This was often good for the United States,
but TR was careful not to upset things on
the world stage too too much.
- Often went to protect US investments.
- Example: Nicaragua held many US
investments, and the US was quick to help
leaders they liked stay in power and those
they didn't be removed by rebellion.
