Imperialism • Imperialism is a militant foreign policy based on expansion. • When a larger, more powerful nation takes over, or controls the resources of a smaller, less powerful nation, it is following an imperialist foreign policy. • The United States as followed this policy in dealing with Native Americans, during the Mexican-American War, and with regards to the construction of the Panama Canal, for example.

  7. Neutrality • Not taking sides in international disputes is a characteristic of Neutrality. • The United States, for example, tried to stay neutral during World War I – from 1914 to 1917. In the end, though, we were forced to join the war on the side of the Allied Powers. After 1917, we abandoned the policy of Neutrality, and started fighting against the Germans.

Well, at least with regards to Europe…
