The French and Indian War marked a major turning point in American relations with Great Britain, with changes such as increased British control and anti-British sentiment in the colonies, but also continuities such as loyalty to Britain that remained largely untouched by the war. The Sugar Act and the Stamp Act helped pay for war debt, the Passage of Proclamation 1763 prevented movement across the Appalachians, which presented a problem, and the Albany Plan of Union which was used to centralize a government. All of these were important aspects of the French and Indian War. The French and Indian War was a major victory for the British, but left them in so much debt that they passed these acts.…

After Panama became their own country, Panama and the US made a treaty giving the US total control over the canal for $10 million and $250,000 annually (Theodore Roosevelt Miller Center). This example shows that Roosevelt’s policies change the landscape of the US because it shows other countries that the US was willing to use force for anything necessary. Theodore Roosevelt continued to use the Monroe doctrine to help Venezuela after they did not pay off debts to European countries, like Germany, Italy, and England. German appeared to be getting ready…

After Fascist dictators such as Hitler (Germany) and Mussolini (Italy) started to break all of the deals that the world had come to in the Treaty of Versailles and other agreements,…
Another treaty was the Treaty of 1818. Likewise to the previous treaty, it resolved issues between the boundaries of Britain and America. This accounted for nationalism and foreign policy because it allowed us to establish Oregon with the settlers who went there. It also was successful in the fact that it would help prevent future wars. Another treaty made from post war is the Florida…
As imperialism became a trend among global powers in the late nineteenth century the United States faced further pressure to carry out a more aggressive foreign policy. The Spanish-American war sparked American major involvement in foreign affairs. Initially, American interference with global issues appeared to have a noble cause, but future policies and events proved differently. The control and imperialistic policies that the U.S carried on after the war, the aggressive use of the Monroe doctrine by the presidents who followed, and increasing desire by Americans to be involved in political affairs abroad for protection of their own financial well-being went to show that economic motives driven by a highly demanding American public were prime…
Essay 1 The years after the Civil War to the turn of the 20th Century should be seen as American imperialism, because all expansions during the era were either approved, or instigated by the US government.

The end of the First World War and the onset of the interwar period in Britain (1918-1938) and Weimar Germany (1919-1933) brought upon an increase in European exposure to the American way of life. The stationing of American forces in Western Europe, Britain, France and Belgium, caused an influence of American culture that they had brought with them. Their presence was also felt in Germany, as the central powers defeat in the war influenced the then American President Woodrow Wilson’s 14-point program and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles by the League of Nations.

With Woodrow Wilson, it can be said there were two distinct views on foreign policy. At the onset of his career in politics, his foreign policy was minimal at best.
