Imperialism

America is not imperialist. America has not claimed any land as their own since Hawaii and Alaska. Albiet this was in the middle 20th century, but America did not claim any sizable amount of land of their own for most of the 19th century. While America was a "power", it was not imperialist. So the answer to your question is "no". Also recategorizing.

The struggle for land was different during the Boer war than other takeovers in Africa because it was the first "Modern" war. Against the British the Boers used guerrilla war tactics and they raided villages and towns.

Britain colonized Hong Kong around 1841. This is during the Opium Wars. Britain won this conflict and the Treaty of Nanking was the result.

Britain had colonies in Europe: Gibraltar & Malta. All through Africa from north to south, Kenya Malawi, North & South Rhodesia & the Union of South Africa as well as Nigeria & the Gold Coast, Ghana, the Indian sub continent, the Far East as well as Canada, Australia & New Zealand. In America British Honduras, now Belize & British Guiana, now Guyana, as well as many of the Islands of the Carribean & Bermuda. (Plus other places I haven't mentioned !) And which is the only country which is now a member of the Commonwealth which was never a member of the British Empire ?.............................. Mozambique

The US was never completely isolated from the rest of the world. Trade made the US an active member of world affairs. It was during the period of the 1890s that the US foreign policy became influenced by imperialism. During that decade, the US became the most important industrial power in the world. That meant we had to find markets and areas to obtain raw materials. Business was also looking at other areas in the world as potential customers for our products. The US military, especially the Navy, was growing and expanding in other areas of the world where we had not had the ability to go in force before. The war with Spain and the presidency of T. Roosevelt also made the US a major economic, military, and imperialistic power.

Although there are plenty of differences, the main differing belief was over territorial expansion. The imperialists were all for it, thinking that it would help with the American market and the depressed economy from the Panic of 1893. The anti-imperialists argued that it went against our American democracy and was harmful to the territories we were trying to acquire.

The fate of the colonists is unknown. There are many theories including their having moved south to merge with the friendly natives, moving west on to the mainland, moving north to the Chesapeake Bay. Some may have tried to sail back to England. We just don't know.

Imperialism changed the demographics of South Africa. More Europeans immigrated to South Africa, increasing the country's white population. Also, the economy became dependent on gold and diamond mining.

They realized that the Inca empire was the city of gold. The Spanish became poor during this time so some Spanish people set sail and brought back stories about the city of gold. So Francisco Pizarro set sail to Peru and found the city of gold (Inca empire). He then treated them like slaves and made them change religion to Christianity.

Colonial surplus grain from the middle colonies was sold to the West Indies and other colonies, and many other countries, except England. In order to protect its own producers, England discouraged grain Purchases from the colonies by the imposition of heavy duties on colonial grain.

Two reason why the US adopted a policy of Imperialism in WW1 was the desired to stay out of Europe's affairs. The flood of immigrants from the Europe also lead to resentment as the cheap labor pushed wages lower.

Because it meant a change in lifestyle was imminent. It also meant a loss of hunting grounds. Most tribes were initially ok with the funny looking white ghosts, but as they saw what we were doing to them and what the future had in store they began to resist - as would anyone in their position.

Many didn't resist and some made great efforts to assimilate into British society, although the British saw them as animals so they never really fit in.

Colonialism started with the fur trade and the introduction of the HBC into Canada

who did U.S control imperialist policy around the turn of the 20th century.

Spain colonized all of Central and South America, with the exception of Brazil, which became a colony of Portugal. They also controlled many of the islands in the Caribbean Sea.

The current US states of Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona were first explored by the Spanish, who also controlled Louisiana for a time between French domination.

There is an on-going shift and there is no one specific time or event that can be identified as the crucial component. The beginnings of imperialism in the United States of America began in the late 19th and early 20th century with commodity production in America giving way banking and finance. Commodity production was outsourced, along with democracy backed by military force. The financial success of this system lead to its own growth.

A colonial coin is a coin made for or used in a colony. For example, in the American colonies, the local governments produced coins for local use, because the English did not provide sufficient supply. Colonial coins were also produced by some individuals in the American colonies, and a few were produced in other countries and shipped to North America.

Some colonial coins were minted in the UK for British colonies, and this went on well into the 20th century.

In the classic sense, American imperialism is a myth. The US never had a policy either stated or understood of importing cheap raw materials and requiring vassal states or colonies to accept expensive manufactured goods, as did for example: England. The dominance of American culture and products in the mid 20th century was mostly the result of people in other nations craving the standard of living enjoyed in the world's largest democracy. Closest to the idea of an imperial America, was the Monroe doctrine, which asserted US control over places in the Americas, adjacent to North America, from which political and military threats might arise to the mainland. This is exactly the same policy which all major powers have had, as China with SouthEast Asia, Russia with the Balkans and Eastern Europe, and Japan with nearby Pacific Islands.

Although the term "American Imperialism" is still widely used in the world, it is most usually employed by the governments of countries, whose people will if given the chance, immigrate to the US as soon as they can. Rather than call it Imperialism, I'd call it: "other people's envy".

The British Colonies, so to speak, were 13 in number and were aptly named Thirteen Colonies. The English colony ... These Thirteen American Colonies were grouped under three different heads depending on the type of governance: ... Charter Colonies - These colonies were established when the British Crown granted a charter,

The American colonization of the Philippines lasted between 1898 and 1946. American gained control of the Philippines with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. After World War II, America gave the Philippines their independence.

The Japanese neede OIL desperately. They chose to invade the Dutch East Indies and China for their OIL. That is an extremely common reason people got to war.
