Show Transcript

all right welcome back today is Wednesday March 18th the day after St Patrick's Day this is day three of the Coronavirus outbreak or schools are let out and so we're trying to help kids learn a little bit while they're on vacation and it's all up to you though some basic reminder we are in a new unit and it's called us has a form as a world power there's two chapters you need to look at in this is only on foreign policy so for example pay attention to chapter 20 pay attention to chapter 20 that's the first part this is the foreign policy were looking at 1865 to 1914 basically before World War 1 these are the key elements you got to know about Alaska he have to know of what are Latin American involvement that's going to culminate the Latin America stuff going to culminate in the big stick policy which I really don't know how to edit on this document so kind of at a disadvantage I don't know what I'm doing here I've been I don't know how to go back to where he'll flies okay well we'll just go with this so anyway Alaska Latin America social Darwinism in foreign relations is a fundamental idea you know attitudes non-white people in different parts of the world basically said it's okay to take them as possessions and territories so we're going to look at that so missionaries are a part of that specially in China Spanish-American war is part of this what were the causes basically what were the attitudes in America based on the the expansionist and the yellow journalism the roles of you know basically the cost is very important as well as how it propels TR to the very popular stance because of his serve in the war Cuban Independence got a couple of good stories with that then we get the Philippines part of that so the question is do we want to keep the Philippines do they deserve to be a part of their own country there was a discussion in the United States of the open door policy in Asia that's interesting concept and then the course corollary to the Monroe Doctrine very very important Taft Dollar Diplomacy lots of connections to today and then Wilson moral diplomacy which is the fundamental most important idea in the early 20th century foreign policy discussion Wilson is the Super Bowl our he is The Guiding Light in American foreign policy as far as the twentieth centuries concerned collective security things of that nature of the UN all those are part of what time Wilson is going to Advocate all right and then the next part is World War 1 I don't know how long we're going to go today I'm already it's been about 5 minutes or so so we're going to go 30 minutes and then we'll take a break I really wish you had if you have questions and it really helps if you send questions to me so I can answer them borrow button it's really important that you do that if if you're paying attention I can't tell who's reading or watching this or if it's helping one bit so if you do find that in any way helpful please send me a note so I know all right when we begin to discuss American foreign policy post Civil War the Big Ideas comparing expansion early expansion in the United States to new expansion so again I wish I can there's no way I can really right but it's play expansion compared to new expansion so figure 19th 1850 is a cutoff for early expansion and late expansion the cutoff is basically 20th century and the early expansion it's going to be continental United States and late expansion it's going to be overseas at you know the Pacific specifically let let me see if I can't diagram this out a bit on the the handout the hand out by the way you can get to this again by going to Point Loma High School this is under u.s. imperialism right here and then here's the PowerPoint and here's the hand out that you should be able to look at let's go back to this and let's see if we can diagram this out a bit for you guys so technical difficulties so sorry to what extent was late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century knighted states expansion a continuation of the past expansion and to what extent was it a departure and so if we could finger way to write text Ella Eyre ego early early if we go early expansion early expansion what they're talking about is continental United States you're talking about Indian population 10 are native populations American populations Or Hispanic Mexican elation areas so Frank Zappa Louisiana Purchase are elements you know the floor is adams-onis treaty WIC Florida annexation Texas let's see Treaty of Paris that is the you know east of the Mississippi Territory so we get where to purchase Adams Onis Treaty annexation of Texas we get Oregon Oregon going to Oregon Territory from British treaty and then we get finally the Mexican War war / Mexican Cession well my spelling should be back so basically if we compare this early expansion to the heater expansion you're going to get some basic Trends it's the continental United States and then the motives behind it are very similar you know we got manifest destiny and the very specific racial component Manifest Destiny the racial component and the same pattern patterns develop we're usually looking for you know we dominate native populations we we want the territory for economic purposes white supremacy I guess that's what the racial component is it is a fundamental underlying background to it so early Mansion main idea is within the continental United States that we dominate native populations you know some major elements are these what is the hottest day these are Big examples Treaty of Paris we get his Hispanic population really comes in to slay when we get down here to the Mexican Cession so that's much better located there other than that that's why the early expansion think of those topics and again there is a pattern that develops and then lay expansion if you want to do a brainstorm different ways we get territory I forgot that pattern how we get the territory or how the United States gets the territory get get their choice elf first it's purchase purchase treaty annexation and more those are the three ways how we get this territory and then you need to make sure that you're able to identify the three ways so Louisiana Purchase Adams Onis Treaty annexation of Texas and then the Mexican-American War and so in that way and that's a pattern you can identify an early expansion later expansion hey gif what oh my God we're going to get the same pattern check this out purchase 3D anyway purchase treaty annexation in war now what's different differences are latex pants in its overseas overseas is that one word yet overseas so it's it's predominantly in the Pacific its overseas in the Pacific its Latin America and put the same issues purchase treaty annexation in war and so your job in answering this essay question is to basically explain compare and contrast and I would recommend definitely you know the the process for writing the essay remember the first sentence of the body of the intro it's again a contact and then split complex thesis and then you get an A B C a paragraph you brainstorm all the answers exactly like we did make your thesis and then your body paragraphs body one is going to have sesis car a etc etc and so I would say there are similarities for example similarities would be racial component and then how we acquire territory and then give you a Reno brief detail and then so that's one and then the differences early early expansion and then differences late expansion difference also did you get that this is a I think an easy way to write that essay and that takes care of all of the information you need when you go back to what what what exactly are we looking at we're looking at purchase of Alaska we're looking at Latin America where we get involved with Panama Canal open door policy that the Spanish-American War all of those are answered in this question mean while you get. expansion in the late expansion so hopefully that helps with an overview I think we're going to stop there and transition with part 2 when we get to this tree all right here's the first questionnaire
