2. After identifying each term, discuss why each one is important (its significance).
Neutrality is important because it could lead to civilized conversations held by a third party to resolve issues between two warring parties. Peace talks held at neutral site sometimes allows the opposing sides to sit back and think about ways to resolve their issues.
Imperialism played a very important role in the history of the world. It actually helped shape the world as we know it today. Without imperialism the United States would not be the major power it is today. Imperialism helped us to expand our territories, expand our economic trade with foreign countries and helped us become a world power.
Yellow journalism is important because it helped promote American pride prior to the Spanish American War. It helped build support in America which eventually led to the war. It convinced the American people that Spain purposely sunk the U. S. S. Maine and that we needed to act fast to protect American interest. Sinking of the U.S.S. Maine was the straw that broke the camels back and led us into war with Spain. With America winning the war it also helped us gain new territories such as Cuba and the Philippines which aided our expansion and dominance around the world.
Dollar diplomacy and the Open Door policy were important to our economic growth and trading power with foreign countries overseas. It created free access to various ports in Asia and increased American business. It also allowed us to help any country that was fiscally and politically unstable and prevent that country from being taken over by the European countries. This would be a very important political statement that the United States would make to the entire world.
The Roosevelt Corollary helped us in protecting U. S. interest in the western hemisphere and in Latin American nations. This is extremely important because it helped the growth of our economy and trade, protected our borders against any foreign attack and provided a presence of power in the international world.
The failure of the Boxer Rebellion was important because it allowed foreigners to stay and conduct business in China. If the Boxers would have won then all foreigners would have been forced out and international trading might have ended.
The building of the Panama Canal was critical in opening a new trade route. It established a shorter route for ships so that they could travel from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to go around the much longer route around South America. It greatly reduced the distance and time required to travel from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.
Alfred T. Mahan’s ideas helped the United States created a powerful navy which helped tremendously in the wars fought in U. S. history. His belief in controlling the seas with military power would play a vital role during war time. Controlling the sea would eliminate countries from attacking another country by sea and it would also eliminate the transportation of military supplies to soldiers during war time.
