What do the images on this slide and the previous slide imply about imperialism?

This slide explores the images and dates associated with imperialism as it shaped US foreign policy. From the dawning of the "Age of Empire" to the departure from self-determination and anti-colonial traditions, this presentation highlights the different interests that drove American expansion. Commercial/business interests, military/strategic interests, social Darwinist thinking, religious/missionary interests, and the closing of the American frontier all played a role in the US quest for global influence. The video "America Becomes a World Power" provides further insight into this era of imperialism.
