USH 3-1 D

Page history last edited by Pam Merrill 3 years, 10 months ago

Oklahoma Academic Standard 3. The student will analyze the expanding role of the United States in international affairs as America was transformed into a world power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, 1890 to 1920.

Objective 3.1 Evaluate the impact of American imperialism on international relations and explain its impact on developing nations.

  D. Compare the foreign policies of Presidents Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson including Big Stick Diplomacy, Dollar Diplomacy, Missionary Diplomacy, the Roosevelt Corollary, military interventionism, and the territorial acquisition and construction of the Panama Canal. 

In a Nutshell

This objective requires students to compare President Roosevelt’s, Taft’s, and Wilson’s different schools of thought regarding foreign policy. Students should examine policies dependent on a strong military versus those which encouraged investment in countries with similar goals and policies which focused on supporting democracy. Students should also understand that during this time America proved its willingness to go to great lengths in order to acquire new territories and increase its influence around the globe. This era should be compared to issues in contemporary foreign policy, when appropriate.
