What were the three main reasons for expansionism?
Well it was a continuation of past US expansionism because the US still believed that they had a God given right to expand, take what they could, and purify the culture (very similar to thoughts of manifest destiny), and the US wanted to expand their economy and power throughout the world. The difference was that instead of expanding within the confines of America they began national expansion into places such as the Philippines.
The US is concerned anytime a nation expands using methods of violence. The concern is elevated when the countries involved may cause a domino/or destabilization effect with neighboring nations.
Expansionism in the 1800's was supported by Manifest Destiny, the belief that the U.S. should occupy the continent east to west.~AKON~
The Monroe Doctrine proclaimed that European powers should not interfere in the Western Hemisphere, allowing the US to expand its influence in the region. Social Darwinism provided a pseudo-scientific justification for imperialism by suggesting that certain nations were inherently superior and destined to rule over others, promoting expansionism under the guise of spreading civilization and progress.
Theodore Roosevelt's nickname was "Teddy". It was his nickname that we used to give the name "Teddy Bear" to the now well known toy given to children.
Yes. The US helped modernize and Westernize Japan. However, the US did not directly support Japanese expansion or expansionism.
