Answer 5

1.In the classic sense, American imperialism is a myth. The US never had a policy either stated or understood of importing cheap raw materials and requiring vassal states or colonies to accept expensive manufactured goods, as did for example: England. The dominance of American culture and products in the mid 20th century was mostly the result of people in other nations craving the standard of living enjoyed in the world's largest democracy. Closest to the idea of an imperial America, was the Monroe doctrine, which asserted US control over places in the Americas, adjacent to North America, from which political and military threats might arise to the mainland. This is exactly the same policy which all major powers have had, as China with SouthEast Asia, Russia with the Balkans and Eastern Europe, and Japan with nearby Pacific Islands.

Although the term "American Imperialism" is still widely used in the world, it is most usually employed by the governments of countries, whose people will if given the chance, immigrate to the US as soon as they can. Rather than call it Imperialism, I'd call it: "other people's envy".
