5. Emergence of the Americas in global affairs 1880-1929
This section focuses on modernization in the region, and its impact on foreign policy. It explores the
involvement of the nations in the First World War. Modernization shaped the new nations and its effects
created the basis for a major shift in the foreign policies of the region. By the end of the century, for example,
the United States played a more active role in world affairs, and in the affairs of Latin America in particular,
thus transforming inter-American relations. When the First World War broke out in Europe, several American
countries were involved in the conflict. When the war ended, its impact was felt in the economic, social and
foreign policies of the participating countries.
• United States’ expansionist foreign policies:political, economic,social and ideological reasons
• Spanish–American War: causes and effects(1898)
• United States’ foreign policies: the Big Stick; Dollar Diplomacy; Moral Diplomacy; applications and
impact on the region
• United States and the First World War: from neutrality to involvement; reasons for US entry into the

reasons for and/or against participation; nature of participation
• Impact of the First WorldWar on two countries of the Americas: economic, political, social, and foreign
policies
