Imperialist Nation

I think that the United States should be an imperialist nation because it would improve the nation’s economy and give more people jobs in the trading market. Imperialism is the policy or practice of extending a state’s rule over other territories.  If we are a nation that uses imperialism this would make everything in the United States stronger like our army, economy, pay and more. These ideas of imperialism can also be good for other nations if they need help with control over there people or if they need backup in a war if they are to weak to fight it themselves.

 
William Jennings Bryan views on the US role was that we had better education and we knew more about running a government. “ because the American people have been educating themselves in the science of government for nearly three centuries” this means that american know more about it. Theodore Roosevelt is willing to imperialize other countries because it would make the nation a stronger place. i agree with his ideas on imperialism. Orville H. Platt is both will and against imperialism in different ways like we wants protection but he wants them to have their own independence and control their own government. he wants the United States to be therefore backup if needed. “ that to enable the united states to maintain the independence of Cuba, and to protect the people thereof, as well as for its defense, the government of Cuba will sell or lease to the United States lands necessary for coaling or naval stations.”
