American imperialism

  • Before 1890 America's foreign policy stance was defensive and seeked to keep the New World free of wars and diplomatic entanglements. Most American's were hostile to the idea of imperialism.
  • Several of the factors behind this shift were opnely expansionist. The growth of the American economy seemed to prove that the US needed new markets overseas.

The rebels received support from American sympathisers which grew stronger after the Spanish army used brutal methods. Cuba's economy was dependent on exporting tobacco and sugar to US markets and Cuba, only 90 miles away from the United States. 
  • Another reason for war was to gain access to islands under Spanish colonial rule. These would open the way for American bases in the Pacific, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam and in the Phillippines. The fast modernisation of Japan was seen as threat to American interests, fuelled by concerns of the 'Yellow Peril' and fears of Chinese and Japanese immigration. 
  • In February 1898, an American warship the USS Maine blew up in the harbour in Havana. The event was portrayed as a Spanish provocation and was an excuse for war. The 'Yellow Press' pushed the case for war with hysterical newspaper campaigns.
