Unit Goals:
- To be able to explain the economic, political, and cultural forces that sparked a spectacular burst of imperialistic expansionism for the United States, culminating in the Spanish-American War. - To understand the importance of the strong progressive movements eventually embraced by presidents such as Roosevelt and Taft, and how it would successfully demand that the powers of government be applied to solving the economic and social problems of industrialization. - To explain why a split Republican party will lead to Woodrow Wilson’s progressive idealism and isolationism would initiate sweeping reforms domestically, but lead to dangerous military involvements internationally. |
