Describe the motivations and the consequences of our expansionism of the early 20th Century. By the beginning of the 20th century the U.S. began to expand its involvement in world affairs. Goldman et. al (2010) states this reflected a traditional but often misguided sense of humanitarianism and mission toward U.S. concepts. 

Your assignment is to write a 2-4 page paper discussing the motivations and consequences of our growing involvement with the rest of the world.

Discuss the reasons behind the new expansionism that characterized US foreign policy in the 1890s?
