American Imperialism
To become a major naval power, the United States began to replace its wooden sailing ships with steel vessels powered by coal or oil in 1883. But control of the seas would also require the acquisition of naval bases and coaling stations. Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm had copies of Mahan's books placed on every ship in the German High Seas Fleet and the Japanese gov-ernment put translations in its im-perial bureaus. (continued at the top of page 2) By 1890, the United States had by far the world's most productive economy. American industry pro-duced twice as much as its closest competitor--Britain. But the United States was not a great military or diplomatic power.
America Becomes a World Power (continued) Carl Schurz: The U.S. should become a power for peace!!! Henry Cabot Lodge: The U.S. must expand to compete!!! “Small states are of the past and have no future. The modern move-ment is all toward the concentra-tion of people and territory into great nations and large dominions
