DBQ - 1900s Expansionism
Around the close of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, the United States was very much an imperialist country. While the imperialism of the 1900s may have departed from past actions in terms of size and ambition, but the fundamental reasons and drive for expansion remained the same throughout much of America’s history. Past expansion of the US includes the Manifest Destiny-driven push to the West coast, the annexation of Texas, and the purchase of Alaska. Manifest Destiny, which was one of the essential reasons for US expansion from coast to coast, was largely motivated by American nationalism. Nationalism was also a major factor in motivating many of the expansionist actions of the US around the 1900s. The Spanish-American war was fought as a direct result of a nationalistic, jingoistic furor whip
