“In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, American foreign policy was primarily defined by the pursuit of expansionism, driven by a belief in American exceptionalism and a duty to spread democracy and capitalism around the globe. This era saw the United States engage in several conflicts and interventions, including the Spanish-American War of 1898, which not only resulted in territorial acquisitions like Puerto Rico and the Philippines but also marked a significant shift in the nation's identity as a global power. This aggressive foreign policy was justified by arguments of moral obligation, presenting the annexation of overseas territories as a benevolent act aimed at uplifting less fortunate nations, thus embodying a humanitarian facade coupled with economic interests.”
Source: John A. Thompson, historian, “The United States and the Age of Imperialism”, 2003
“Contrarily, the rise of American imperialism during this period can be seen as a hypocritical endeavor, masking underlying motives of economic exploitation and nationalistic fervor under the guise of moral superiority. Critics of this foreign policy argued that instead of liberating oppressed peoples, the United States sought to reproduce its own dominance in foreign lands for the benefit of American corporations and investors. The consequences of such policies were often detrimental, leading to unrest and resistance in the territories affected, as exemplified by the Philippine-American War, where the rhetoric of liberation was starkly at odds with the reality of subjugation and violence. This imperialistic approach not only contradicted the founding principles of liberty and self-determination but also illuminated the darker side of America's global ambitions, showing that the nation's self-image was often built on the subjugation of others.”
Source: David S. Mason, historian, “Imperialism and American Identity”, 2010
