Trace the development of U.S. foreign economic relationships from the nation’s inception to the beginning of World War I. Why were policy makers willing to disregard the founders’ intentions to remain autonomous and self-sufficient?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should address how the United States made an exception to its desire to remain relatively uninvolved in foreign affairs because it saw economic prosperity as vital to advancing the nation’s interests. Answers should trace how the United States exported both agricultural and industrial goods and grew its economy to have one of the largest per capita GDP (gross domestic product) in the world. Answers should also detail U.S. economic efforts in both Asia and Latin America and should cite examples such as the open door policy and gunboat diplomacy.
