“Speak softly and carry a big stick”1. Need for canal
a. Militarism - need shorter route to Philippines
i. Going around South America takes too long!
b. Jingoism – prestige for industrial accomplishment
c. Commercialism – shorter trade route to China
i. Open Door Policy – agreement that all nations would not colonize China
1898: USS Oregon raced around South America to fight the
Spanish in Cuba. Without a canal, the Oregon spent more than 2 months at
sea!
"I want no prisoners. I wish you to kill and burn, the more you kill and burn the better it will please me. I want all persons killed who are capable of bearing arms in actual hostilities against the United States.” General Jacob H. Smith
