Mexican
revelation By Jacob Hallas
Pancho Villa raid
in 1916
Mexicans attacks on American land and 17 Americans were killed. This was the first on land battle since 1812. Many people wanted land for that because to
have money. By the end of the battle and in 1910 150,000 United States coast guards were stationed at the United States Mexican border.
Battle of
Veracruz
• In 1914 9 crew
members went on
to shore and were
off the USS
dolphin. They
were captured and
were held captive
for 9 months and
they were released
unharmed. On the
next day the
United States
wanted an apology
from the Mexicans
that took them. On
April 20 the
United States
declared war on
Mexico. During
that battle 17
Americans died
and 300 Mexicans
died.
United States
wanted some
resources
• In Mexico but was
not able to get
them. The Mexican
president named
portfolio Diaz was
getting money from
forgiven investors.
Also from the
United States form
selling drugs. He
was over toughen
and traveled to
Texas and he came
back and he was
killed.
Imperialism for
China & Japan!
The Russo-Japan war
& The Open Door
Policy with the
wrong!!
• The Open Door Policy
was made so America
could get some ground on
China . Most other nations
had trade with China, but
America did not. The
Boxers killed people to
show that his group of
characters were serious.
The name Boxers was
originated in the western
parts of America . The
Boxers gave themselves a
bad reputation from these
dangerous acts on other
nations.
What China &
Japan did is
Wrong!
The war with
Russia was
probably wrong
because Japan was
a nation that kept
itself and never
really bothered
with near by
neighbors. Japan
was doing fine by
itself and by going
to war with Japan
went though a lot.
What China &
Japan did is right!
• The war with Russia and Japan was a battle in which Japan wanted to show it’s power. Japan got some territory along with the war. By Japan winning the war with the Russians and becomes the most powerful army in East Asia . America makes the Open Door Policy so America could get some trade from China and never heard back and takes it as a yes. The Boxer Rebellion was a group of socialists who killed foreign missionaries and Chinese Christians. In June 1900 the Boxers attacked the capitol city of Beijing and killed hundreds.

The Hawaiian
annexation
• The Hawaiian annexation transformed Hawaii and its people in two ways.Hawaii is 2,000 miles west of California, it was a convenient spot for the U.S. It was good for naval bases and coaling stations for ships traveling to and from Asia. American had sweet tooth and loved sugar. They wanted Hawaii for its sugar cane tycoons and pineapple plantations
Captain Cook arrived in Hawaii in1778 where he established a
monarchy. There was profitable trade in sandalwood. In the
1820s, brought with him missionaries and traders from New
England to Hawaii. But with Cook there was diseases and
Hawaiians had no immunity. The Hawaiian population declined
from 300,000 (1770s) to 40,000 (1893). Americans
investigated in sugar industry, Hawaiian sugar growers grew
rich off of the Americans. Not many Native planters were left
after the diseases, so Hawaiians brought workers from Japan,
China, and the Philippines.

Spanish
American war
• Shaky reports by The Journal about the sinking of the U.S. Maine used yellow journalism, causing the Spanish-American War and the battle at San Juan Hill.
• Yellow journalism also caused the Spanish American War. The Journal stretched the truth. and said the cause of the explosion was because of a Spanish attack on the Untied States. Why they did this was because of another newspaper company was selling more papers then the Journal. So the Journal decided to make up the story about the USS Maine being sunk by the Spanish. Shaky reports on The Maine and yellow journalism led to the Battle at San Juan Hill. The Battle of San Juan Hill , also known as the battle for the San Juan Heights, was a decisive battle of the Spanish-American War. it was also the most violent and bloody battle of the war. It is also where future vice-president and president, Theodore Roosevelt was awarded the Metal of Honor. if the Journal didn't stretched the truth using yellow journalism, the whole Spanish-American war could have never happened
Sinking of the
Maine
Shaky reports by The Journal about the
sinking of the U.S. Maine caused the
Spanish American war. How did this help
cause a war? Well when the Maine exploded
many people thought it was do to the
Spanish attacking. Why people thought that
was because during this time period
America and Spain were not having the best
relations.
