Week of February 22nd-26th

This week we'll be starting our new unit: What Makes America Modern? U.S. Imperialism 1890-1914. To start the week we'll consider "when is war just?" and review basic concepts related to U.S. foreign policy. 

Our objectives this week are:

• Define "U.S. foreign policy," "expansionism," "imperialism," "colonialism," and "empire."
• Describe how the rise of nationalism, social Darwinism, and jingoism fueled U.S. expansionism.

 We will also spend time reviewing the unit and the final project. 

Here are the slides for the week:
