  2. U.S. Acts as Peacemaker • Russo Japanese War (1904 – 1905) • Disagreement over control in Korea • Japan defeats Russia on land and at sea • Begins to run out of resources though • Japan approaches Teddy Roosevelt to set up peace

  3. Treaty of Portsmouth • Leaders meet in U.S. (New Hampshire) • Japan gets land from Russia • Roosevelt wins Nobel Peace Prize • Stops conflict from becoming long with lots of death

  4. Panama The Panama Canal • Why a Canal? • Reduce travel time for ships to get from Atlantic to Pacific Oceans

  5. Why Panama? • A French company had already started one • Worked on it for 10 years (got about half done) • They ran out of $ • U.S. bought the incomplete route for $40 million Photo of abandoned, Incomplete French Dig site

  6. One Problem • Columbia didn’t give U.S. permission to build a canal • U.S. helped organize a rebellion in Panama • U.S. warships pointed their guns at Columbia as a threat if they tried to stop Panama rebels. Columbia military stayed home. • 15 days later, Panama was independent • Treaty with new govt. in Panama • U.S. paid $10 million for land to finish canal • $250,000 per year for control over “Canal Zone” • Lasted until midnight Jan. 1st, 2000.

  7. Finishing the Canal • Took 10 more years (1904 – 1914) • Took over 100,000 people to build (many black) • 5,600 died (disease, work – related)

  8. How the Canal Works

  9. Bottom Line on Canal • Good for U.S. Businesses • Bad Feelings between Central Am. Countries and U.S. • Would their govt. be overthrown if they disagreed with U.S.?

  10. The Roosevelt Corollary (1904) • similar to the Monroe Doctrine(1823) • 5th US President told Europe to stay out of the Americas • reminded European countries to stay out of all Central Am. affairs or else • Known as Big Stick Diplomacy(Threat of force to keep Europe out)

  11. Taft’s Style – Dollar Diplomacy • Taft did not like TR’s threatening approach • lent $$$ to Central and South American countries that had debts to European countries so they wouldn’t come into this hemisphere and use force to collect. • Nicaragua under Adolfo Diaz is an example in your book

  12. Wilson’s Style = Missionary Diplomacy • Different than Taft and TR • Believed that the U.S. shouldn’t interact with any Central Am. Govt. that was hostile towards most of its own people • Wanted Democracies

  13. THE FIRST 12 SLIDES ARE PRETTY IMPORTANT • THE REST OF THESE SLIDES ABOUT MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE HAVE 1 QUESTION ON THE TEST! • KNOW WHO PANCHO VILLA AND JOHN PERSHING WERE.

  14. U.S. – Mexico Relations during the Progressive Era • The Early Years (1876 – 1911) • Ruled by Porfirio Diaz (dictator) • Didn’t treat people well • Good relationship with U.S. so we didn’t care • The 1st revolution (1911 – 1913) • Ruled by Francisco Madero (promised democracy) • Unable to make everyone in country happy

  15. The Coup (military takeover) (1913 – 1915) • led by Victoriano Huerta (dictator) • Murdered Madero • President Wilson didn’t recognize the govt. • U.S. turned a small event (Tampico incident) into a big deal… almost led to war • ABC Powers step in to mediate a settlement • Argentina, Brazil, and Chile • Decided that Huerta be exiled

  16. The U.S. replacement (1915 – 1920) • VenustianoCarranza (promised democracy) • Made neither Mexico or the U.S. happy • Never instituted democratic reforms like he promised • Was hard on Mexican citizens

  17. The troublemaker (1916 – 1917) • Pancho Villa (Mexican rebel) • Led group unhappy with Carranza into U.S. for several border raids • Destroyed property and killed people • Tried to cause war between U.S. and Mexico • Almost succeeded • Wilson sent U.S. military (led by General Pershing) into Mexico to try to capture him • Never did. When WWI started, troops were recalled.
