Isolationism • Isolationism—the policy of a country not taking part in international alliances, leagues, etc. • Policy established by George Washington in his farewell address • Later, Monroe Doctrine of 1823 emphasized the U.S.’s desire to keep the Americas separate from Europe
Nationalism • Nationalism: doctrine that national interests are more important than international considerations; devotion to one’s nation; patriotism • Expanded empires = empirical powers • Broadened Manifest Destiny ideal
Imperialism • Imperialism—the policy of establishing colonies and building empires • Europe and Asia found imperialism answered the need motivated by trade, adventure, power, profit, idealism, national patriotism, and raw materials to fuel their markets • By 1890, the U.S. became eager to join in the imperialism movement
