Since their first publication, the four volumes of the Cambridge
History of American Foreign Relations have served as the definitive
source for the topic, from the colonial period to the Cold War.
This revised second volume describes the causes and dynamics of
United States foreign policy from 1865 to 1913, the era when the
United States became one of the four great world powers and the
world's greatest economic power. The dramatic expansion of global
power during this period was set in motion by the strike-ridden,
bloody, economic depression from 1873 to 1897 when American farms
and factories began seeking overseas markets for their surplus
goods, as well as by a series of foreign policy triumphs, as
America extended its authority to Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Panama
Canal Zone, Central America, the Philippines, and China. Presidents
William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt set foreign policy
precedents by creating historic policies in which they used the
post-1890 battleship fleet, a navy that quickly became one of the
world's most powerful fleets. Ironically, as Americans searched for
opportunity and stability abroad, they instead helped create
revolutions in Central America, Panama, the Philippines, Mexico,
China, and Russia. These outbreaks introduced the twentieth century
as a century of revolutions with which the United States would have
to deal as a top world power.
