American Imperialism

Postby The Great Shadow Empire » Sat Apr 06, 2013 2:15 pm

Could someone define it in a short sentence or something easy to read?
I just read a massive word wall about it and I was like: lolwut?

Define, and discuss it.

Pretty much America's Military bases across the world (like the 50+ around Iran etc in case of war.) and people saying America wants to be the Global Police.

I'm glad Britain's not the global police anymore! It's horrible. So America's welcome for it.

But back to the point, many people say that America uses it's vast military might and lots of military bases to control countries so they have to obey the USA. So that America gets everything done without ever having to fire a missile, etc.

Also I do refer to the USA as America. It's easier.

I'm unsure if this is what you meant, but it's the closest I've seen to "American Imperialism."

American imperialism? Well let's see, get a dictionary and define Imperial; it will come up with something along the lines of Empire, overseas power. Now do some research and find what America has been doing in the last hundred years.

You know, instead of being rude to the op, you can just not reply if you don't have anything relevant to add to the thread.

As for the topic, i am going to go with zersium's post

As to the OP, do your own homework. Wikipedia even has an article about American imperialism.

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

Not really. Helping someone cheat in their exams is different :p


As for the wiki article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_imperialism

A huge wall of not so helpful info in there, but is good to read through if you need to make essays or something.

Do your own homework.

(BTW: Max, why am I getting ads for Dutch prostitutes?)
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

It's very much one of those "you know it when you see it" kind of things. You learn to recognise it from experience.

And this is "it".

So no breaking of rules then. Nothing wrong with helping those in need.

That's...not a logical conclusion to draw from what I said.

You're right, and I'm sure that there are plenty of places where the OP can go to get help with their homework.

NS is not one of them.

Not only is it against the rules here, but I wouldn't recommend this site for homework help to even my enemies.

Only it could be for maybe a debate in a similar forum, or just out of curiosity. I have found things that i wasn't able to comprehend from books easily, but understood them better when told in simpler words by someone else.
