American
Imperialism
"American Empire is a
term referring to the political,
economic, military and cultural
influence of the
United States. The concept of an
American Empire was first popularized in
the aftermath of the
Spanish-American War of 1898. The
sources and proponents of this concept range from classical
Marxist theorists of
imperialism as a product of
capitalism, to modern
liberal theorists opposed to what
they take to be aggressive U.S.
policy, to
neo-conservatives who believe the
U.S. must embrace an imperial role."
