Answer 1

Answer: Emilio Aguinaldo

Answer 2

Answer: Political cartoons reveal the values and attitudes of the past. Rarely used in the early nineteenth century, they became popular through Thomas Nast's cartoons exposing the corruption of Boss Tweed. Cheap newspapers and Theodore Roosevelt's personality gave more impetus to political cartoons. Political cartoonists revealed the variety of views on American expansion. Context, meaning, and symbolism all give cartoons value as historical sources.

Answer 3

Answer: While Roosevelt supported Japan as the major nation for maintaining the balance of power in the Far East, Californians discriminated against Japanese in their state, complicating United States-Japanese relations. Tensions mounted between the United States and Japan as their interests clashed in the western Pacific. In Europe, Roosevelt worried about mounting German power and pursued a policy emphasizing a close relationship with Great Britain.

Answer 4

Answer: U.S. relations with Latin America during the Roosevelt administration centered on the United States's acquisition of the right to build a canal across Panama and the announcement of the Roosevelt corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. Both represented forceful projections of a U.S. presence into the area, often resulting in the heightening of anti-American sentiment among Latin Americans. The United States supported Panama's revolution against Colombia and intervened militarily in the Dominican Republic.

Answer 5

Answer: It was the responsibility of powerful nations to use their strength to impose moral and civilized values on other nations. He divided countries into the civilized, usually the English-speaking nations, and the uncivilized. He also pursued a very personal style of diplomacy in which he dealt directly with foreign diplomats and leaders, rather than through the Department of State.
