New generation of foreign policy makers [TR and Wilson]

Historic sense of Manifest Destiny - White Mans Burden

Asia

Open Door Policy & China~ In the 1890s Russia, Japan, Great Britain, France and Germany had all established spheres of influence in China~ Each country could dominate trade and investment within their sphere and shut out competitors~ Sec. of State John Hay proposed the concept of an Open Door, by which all nations would have equal trading privileges in China. ~ No nation rejected his proposal and Hay declared all had accepted his Open Door Policy

More Open Door~ In 1900 the Boxers attacked foreign settlements and murdered dozens of Christian missionaries~ U.S. troops participated in an international force that marched into Peking and quickly succeeded in crushing the Boxer Rebellion~ Hay wrote a second note to imperialistic powers stating U.S. commitment to preserve Chinas territorial integrity and safeguard equal and impartial trade with all parts of the Chinese Empire.

New DiplomacyTeddy Roosevelts desire to establish the reputation of America as a World Power

Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt CorollaryMonroe Doctrine 1823Latin America is off limits to Europe or anyone else.Stay out of our hemisphere!

The Roosevelt Corollary1905 The U.S. will keep law & order in Latin AmericaThe US can intervene in our hemisphere whenever we feel it is in our interest.

Teddys Big Stick PolicyGreat White FleetTo demonstrate U.S. naval power Roosevelt sent a fleet of battleships around the world from 1907 1909, mostly to impress Japan

Dollar DiplomacyWilliam Howard TaftExpansion depends on investors dollars rather than naval battleshipsWin-winprivate business investment in China and Central America leads to stability in these areas while at the same time promote U.S. business interestsObstacle: Growing anti-imperialism here and abroad1911U.S. intervenes in Nicaraguas financial affairs1912Civil War breaks out there and the Marines are sent to Nicaragua and stay until 1933

Lodge Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, 1912Henry Cabot Lodges resolution that said non-European powers, such as Japan, would be excluded from owning territory in the Western HemisphereOffended Japan and angered Latin American countries

Time to take a break for more bonus!

Many people in 1941 said that What did we do to the Japanese?? Why would they want to attack us?

What we are going to see is that there are many examples of where the Japanese feel disrespected by the U.S. Actually, they start during this time

In this power point, you have seen some sources of tensions between the Japanese and the United States. Identify these sources.

Moral DiplomacyWoodrow WilsonREFORM in our international behavior U.S. would be the CONSCIENCE of the worldSpread democracy, promote peace, condemn colonialismANTI-IMPERIALISM---No Big Stick or Dollar DiplomacyAgainst self-interested imperialism

The PhilippinesCongress passed Jones Act of 19161. Granted Full territorial status to Philippines2. Guaranteed a bill of rights and universal male suffrage to Filipino citizens3. Promised Philippine independence as soon as a stable government was established

Puerto RicoCongress passed Jones-Shafroth Act in 19171. granted U.S. citizenship to all the inhabitants 2. Provided for limited self-government

Conciliation treatiesWJ Bryan negotiated treaties in which nations:1. Submit disputes to international commissions 2. Observe a one-year cooling-off period before taking military action3. Bryan arranged with Wilson's approval, 30 such conciliation treaties.

Though Wilson did not live up to his principles when vital U.S. Interests were concerned:Latin America---kept Marines in Nicaragua, ordered troops into Haiti and the Dominican Republic in 1916 ---Rationale: necessary to maintain stability in theregion and to protect the Panama Canal

MexicoFrancisco Madero attempts democratic reforms but is overthrown, and assassinated, by General Victoriano Huerta ---Wilson refused to recognize Huerta and brought pressure against the new government
