Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • In the 1890s, the United States began to extend its political reach and economic dominance to other parts of the world.


  • Americans saw overseas populations as potential consumers of American goods, producers of goods Americans wanted, and objects of American benevolence.


  • Reformers justified expansion by arguing that the inferiority of these peoples demanded that Americans instruct, convert, and exert political control over them.


  • The countrys mighty industrial manufacturing sector demanded new markets and a wider consumer base.


  • The depression of 1893 convinced many Americans that the nations industrial production was outstripping domestic demand.


  • Some supporters of expansion used the new languages of race and masculine virility to justify an Anglo-Saxon mission of conquest of childlike peoples.


  • Many Americans believed that the United States should join the international competition to exploit the natural resources and trade potential of weaker countries.
