Write an essay in which you explain why and how the United States became an imperialist power beginning in the late 19th Century up to the end of World War I. In your discussion you want to focus on the three ways in which the U.S. tried to influence world affairs and interacted with other nations. You should explain why it adopted these three different approaches. Finally, why did the United States retreat into isolationism at the end of World War I and in doing so did it abandoned any or all of the three strategies for dealing with other nations that it had engaged in prior to the end of the war?
