HIST 106 1st Edition Lecture 10Outline of Last LectureFirst, we’ll finish up the lecture on American Imperialism. We will try to quickly do the portion ofthe outline in red:LECTURE OUTLINE FORAMERICAN IMPERIALISM• “The White Man’s Burden” & Changing Ideas of EmpireHawaii• The Spanish-American WarCubaThe Philippines• Policing the Hemisphere“Big Stick” DiplomacyPanama Canal, 1903Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe DoctrineTaft and Dollar DiplomacyWilson and Practical IdealismThe Mexican RevolutionThen we’ll move on to the lecture on the Great War (and hopefully get through all of the below).Outline of Current LectureTHE GREAT WAR• War in Europe, beginning in 1914Shaky Alliances & the Catalyst for WarDevelopments in WarfareTrench Warfare combined with New TechnologySubmarine WarfareThe Sinking of the Lusitania• U.S. Neutrality, June 1914-April 1917Focus on Progressive Reforms at HomeDespite American Imperialism, United States still essentially IsolationistDifferent Reasons for IsolationismInterventionist MinorityPreparedness• The United States at War, April 1917-November 1918The Zimmerman Telegram & the Declaration of WarMobilizing the Home FrontSelective Service ActThe Committee on Public Information & Other New Federal AgenciesVolunteerismProgressives at WarPaying for the WarU.S. Military Involvement and the Allied Victory• An Uneasy PeaceWilson and the Fourteen PointsLegacies of the WarCurrent Lecture Paying for the WarU.S. Military Involvement and the Allied Victory• An Uneasy PeaceWilson and the Fourteen PointsLegacies of the WarTHEN, WE’LL GET TO WORK ON THE LECTURE ONPOLITICS, CLASS, AND CULTURE IN THE LATE 1910S & 1920S** I realize this is a long outline. We’re going to be discussing a lot of different things, so Iwanted to provide you all as much information as possible on the outline to help you followalong. I’m hoping to get through the entire first section, “The Home Front: At War and AfterWar.” We will most likely need to save the section on “The Roaring Twenties” for next Tuesday.
