Throughout history, we have seen the United States expand its territory over other countries, which are known as US territories. The way the US expands its territory is called Imperialism. The Spanish American was started because of imperialism, Cuba wanted independence and the US got involved. Imperialism as caused a lot of wars throughout history. People joined World War 1 for the power you could say. The United States tried to be neutral at first but then they didn't want to be left out.

Week 4 Reflection: Native Americans and the West

Native Americans And The West 

The Great American Desert also known as the great plains was a home to a lot of Native Americans. A lot of things that happening during this time cause the Americans to move westward causing an expansion. After 30 years of war, a lot of the Indians that lived in the great plains were forced to live on reservations and made their own way of living away from everyone else. The westward expansion caused colonization. Colonization caused some violence because people were taking over other people's homes. The government started colonization, they wanted white people to have the land that was occupied by the Indians. The government viewed native American people as nomads. This caused a lot of resistance from the Indians. After some years of rebellion, a treaty came into place but not all of the Indians accepted this treaty and that cause a dynamic shift between some native Americans.
