For a country that was born on freedom and anti-imperialism, there sure was a lot of annexation and military conflicts to gain land.

I can’t believe the USA got all the way to south east asia.
The USA opposed the british monarchy and how they were able to rule a country thousands of miles away.

Other countries such as Canada, Brazil and Australia (and to a lesser extent many others) were colonised at a similar time to the USA and all have had similar advantages (high population, a wealth of mineral resources and huge amounts of land) and problems during their histories (difficult relations between settlers and natives, struggle to gain independence, huge wildernesses dividing the country).
Up until now out of the countries that used to be known as the New World only the USA has emerged as a major world power. What do you think set the USA apart from other countries with similar beginnings?

So, I just want a opinion and a answer on,
How could of Usa and the west prevent the cambodian genocide and the killings?
Since when did the west new about this horrific act?

I have a history assignment with the question:

“Examine the extent of racism in the USA during the 1920s”
I need to have half a page of notes which I will use to write an in-class essay.

Could anyone give me any help on this, or send some links with useful information?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
(It’s due on 22nd April so no haste; just that here in Australia we have a holiday starting tomorrow, and I don’t want to spend my holiday searching the web.)
Thanks!

I know that the island of Puerto Rico was one of the territories given to USA back in 1988 by the Spain government to keep peace. Im reading a law of puerto rico that also covers the islands and oceans that are located in the meridian east of 74 longitud west of Greenwich. I would like to know what territories specifically this covers. Thanks for ur hepl!
If u know something about a law named foraker please share it with me.

As a result of the Spanish-American War in 1898, the USA got 3 colonies from Spain: Puerto Rico, Philipinnes and Guam. Nevertheless, the values of the USA, a country that fought against the colonialism, are different from the imperialist desires.
I also think that the USA gave the independence to Philipinnes and became Puerto Rico in a Commonwealth.
I don´t believe that the USA has been a real imperialist country, according to its own wishes.

I am doing a report on the history of the Bhuthnese people and having a hard time pin pointing when they arrived and their lives in the USA. Any one know?

Hence, can the USA or the USSR alone be blamed for the outbreak of the Cold War in Europe?

We are having a debate in History class, and it’s about whether or not USA during the 18th/19th century can be classified as imperial. I have tried searching on the web, but I can’t find any results! Help please!

In several areas of technology and innovation, the USA and Japan (and to some extent, Germany and Sweden too) are far ahead than the rest of the world. And we never hear about any technological invention come out of the UK or Australia or Canada or France or China.

How come USA and Japan are far more technologically advanced than the other developed nations in the world?
