The U.S. on the Global Stage

The Spanish-American War resulted in the United States's permanent entry upon the world stage. It brought with it the functional equivalent of colonies under the guise of territorial protectorates. In the Pacific, the Philippines were the focus of U.S. activity. On the other side of the world, in the Atlantic, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico were all focal points. Over the course of the 20th century, the United States came to understand that it had surrendered its right to splendid isolation somewhere along the line. It mattered in both world wars. It made victory possible for the side it fought on in both instances.
