Additional Course Details:
When the Founding Fathers declared the new United States to be an independent nation in 1776, it was both a weak power and one that had already invaded Canada (and failed). Almost 150 years later, as World War I came to an end, the United States was widely recognized as a great power that dominated the Western Hemisphere and had influence around the world. In this course, we will cover this evolution of American power, focusing on economic, cultural, and military factors that made it possible, as well as the people and factors that checked American expansion.
