Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolving foreign policy of the United States. Covering the period between 1895 and 1898, the author argues that the US's historical isolationist policy was being replaced by a more active influence in the international diplomatic landscape. Drawing examples from Hawaii, Cuba, and the Spanish-American War, the book analyzes speeches and writings of the era, demonstrating that US foreign policy had abandoned the previous conservative approach for a new, more progressive stance. These essays, relevant to current events such as the controversy surrounding US intervention in the Spanish-American war, explore domestic and international implications of this shift in policy. They examine how changed diplomatic tactics would have vast effects on the shape of the nation's future, as well as its economic, cultural, and political development.
