HIST-1302-81422 September 24, 2020 Imperialism And U.S. Foreign Policy During this period of time, I was taught the idea that America was somehow on a worldwide mission to spread liberty and democracy in order to show how peaceful the world can be. However, I was never told of the desire of Imperialism and the forms in which America would take away the resources of other nations. After reading chapter 12 “The Empire and the People'' from Howard Zinn's book, I learned that America was hungry for empire and expansion. Politicians and wealthy business people also wanted to expand U.S. power, and believed that the economy would improve if they could sell their products in other countries which would give them control of the world market. Apart from that, America got involved in Cuba's revolution from Spain to keep markets open. I find it very absurd that the American government was more obsessed with the profits it might generate than with the freedom of the Cuban government. Moreover, I learned that the America needed the Philippines because they were located in a position that could open up a new market with Asia. I also didn’t know that African Americans were still being lynched and killed throughout this time, and that the Filipino people were treated with similar violence as well since many of them were dark skinned and spoke differently and oddly to Americans.
