Question

Do believe the United States was justified in its process of Imperialism during the late

nineteenth/early twentieth century?

Answer 1

In the late nineteenth century, the United States abandoned its century-long commitment to isolationism and became an imperial power. Americans justified imperialistic behavior by: Claiming that it was their responsibility. Americans and Europeans both claimed that it was their responsibility as superior races to uplift, civilize and Christianize native peoples. This was known as the White Mans Burden and was based upon the ideas of social Darwinism.
