Imperialism

Paragraph #1 - What are ways that America participated in imperialism in the past?

Paragraph #2 - Are we still an imperialist nation? Have we improved at all since the early 1900's?

Ways that America participated in imperialism in the past was the war with the Spanish to conquer Cuba. How did they participate? Well they saw that Cuba wanted their own independence. Since they wanted their own independence they didn't have enough equipment to fight them with. So, America helped Cuba get their own independence and then when they were free America conquered them. They practiced imperialism with Hawaii. Americans went over to Haw ii all armed. They put a gun to the queens head and said they want to buy Hawaii. That's how they practiced imperialism.
Yes we are still practicing imperialism. We are practicing imperialism with Iraq. How are we practicing imperialism with them? Well,people thought that the war with Iraq was about Terrorist. Well, that is not true, because they war with Iraq is because Bush want oil. I think that if bush wants oil then why did he go to Egypt to get some oil?If Bush thinks he can win this war, well i would like to see him win.
