In the years following the Civil War, the country’s domestic concerns reinforced the policy of isolationism. However, industrialization in the late 1800s motivated Americans to expand their relationships with other countries. Beginning in 1898, the United States became involved in world affairs and had to develop foreign policies to guide its interactions with other parts of the world. The foreign policy diplomacies of Presidents Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson help us to understand how America emerged as a world power at the beginning of the 20th century.
Compare and contrast the foreign policy diplomacies of Presidents Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson. Explain how each policy identified the role of the United States in relation to other areas of the world, and provide an example of how each policy was implemented.
