Recommended: Germany foreign policy world war 2

Your Imperial Highness, in order to move forward to revitalize the National Security Strategy, our interests and objectives need to be reexamined within the new domestic and international context. The morale of the German people is slipping, our food supply is limited, and the economy is tanking. Additionally, the UK has intercepted the telegram from Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmerman to Mexican Ambassador Heinrich von Eckhart. It is not known how the United States will respond to this information. The interests of the Empire, physical security, economic prosperity, value preservation, and value projection, remain. However, our objectives: colonial expansion, and recognition as a world power, however, must be reexamined. The Empire does not …show more content…

Our diplomatic relationships should be enduring and not end simply because we are entrenched in war. We must communicate with the UK, France, the Balkan states, Russia, and the US. Otto Von Bismarck insisted on alliances with Russia and Austria, which we have since lost. Russia is now fighting against us and our Allies, we need to make mending this relationship a priority since Russia threatens our physical security as a large geographical nation to our East. Our other priority should be to reconcile relations with the US after the interception of the telegram urging Mexico to begin a war with the US. By appeasing US relations we can insure they do not send troops to support the UK. A US backed army can make or break the results of the war. Along with Diplomatic measure, our information and intelligence are strategic aspects that can win the war for the Empire. The intelligence on the US can aid in our preparation for battle. Our morale is sinking but increased propaganda and promotion of our values and objectives can revitalize our soldiers and citizens to support the war effort. Our purpose in the war is diminishing in the eyes of our citizens and therefore is of utmost important to

American's previous western expansion became the breeding grounds for American imperialistic justification. Though cultural justifications were used to keep the public interest in support of imperialism economic justifications were viewed as more important throughout the history of imperialism, even in uniting the similarities of Theodore Roosevelt's and Woodrow Wilson's imperial agendas.

  • British and US Naval Innovation during the interwar period.

    976 Words  | 2 Pages

    After the exhausting efforts required in WWI the United States and Great Britain were war weary. This war weariness affected the political climate and manifested through extreme budget reductions in military expenditures. Military institutions of both countries continued training and sought to prepare for the Second World War. The contrast between the preparation of the navies of the United States and Great Britain represent a remarkable dichotomy of the interwar period; with the US a model of innovation and Great Britain remarkably complacent. The reasons why can be explained in how the two countries saw the threat after World War One, their assessment where the potential naval conflict would arise and what capabilities their own navy would need to be successful in the next war.

He wanted America to stay neutral in foreign matters and not hold long term alliances with other nations. He stated “Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation.” He included how it is unwise for America to implicate itself with artificial ties. Washington believed that if America did conduct with foreign nations then they would influence people as well as government to act as they wanted.

    The main objective of English imperialism was to spread economic influence, values and laws to different countries. The motivations of imperialism were to create merchant policy that only favors political class of the English imperialism and voters so that they can get reelected. The motivations comprised the willingness to control social class, to control foreign trade, to make money, acquire cheap labor, and dominate over America using political powers.

  • The Awakening of Imperialism in America

    934 Words  | 2 Pages

    Imperialism is the policy of a state aiming at establishing control beyond its borders over people unwilling to except such control. Because of this unwillingness imperialist policy always involves the use of power against its victims. It has therefore often been considered morally reprehensive, and the term has been employed in international propaganda to discredit an opponent’s policy. In the Nineteenth Century America, this was conveyed as the awakening of economic and political values. Principally, the goal was to seize the market of raw materials for its cultural gains and to create dominion by appealing to a wide range of people. Even though the import business is an important source of capital and worldwide gain, it also is the main factor in separating classes of people from their moral and traditional values. For this purpose, the Anti-Imperialist was formed in 1899 to neutralize the economic and political views of the Imperialists. Even though Anti-Imperialists are against domination, American Imperialism was widely accepted because imperialists viewed expansionism and foreign trade as the solution to military empowerment, cultural superiority, and the accumulation of new markets.

  • The Similarities Between The Napoleonic Wars And World War I

    Sagan believes that World War I was brought on by “the political objective and alliance commitments of the great powers” (Sagan, 1986 153). This instability between alliances that shaped the war was referred to as “chaingaining” or the pressure put on a state when it must “support allies’ adventurism or risk being left alone” (Downes, Lecture 10 February 20th). Additionally, the alliances were not stable because of the ambiguity within them, also known as the “deterrence failure” (Downes, Lecture 10 February 20th). For example, the United Kingdom was unclear about whether they would go to war and kept their “military commitment” within the Triple Entente, a secret (Downes, Lecture 10 February 20th).

    The year 1898 was a landmark in the transition of the United States from a republic to an imperial power. By the early 1890s, the United States had become the world’s leading agricultural and industrial nation. The country was now able to compete militarily internationally with the other great powers (Ries and Weber 4). It had enough muscle to successfully engage in foreign expansion, otherwise known as imperialism. Many citizens had mixed feelings about the United States becoming an imperialist country. Many farmers and manufacturers were in favor of imperialism so that foreign markets can absorb their growing surpluses (Ries and Weber 4). However, others wondered why the U.S. would want to follow Europe’s powers in imperialism.
