Roosevelt Corollary

Roosevelt Corollary
The issue in this political cartoon is how America was trying to prevent Europe's constant intervention in the western hemishphere's affairs. The message of this political cartoon is that Europe was banned from affairs in the westen hemisphere and how Roosevelt kept them out. Someone else might have thought that Rooselvelt was being mean because Europe wanted to help. But, Europe did not really help out before the rule was made. Additionally, America was supposed to act like the "police" of the Western Hemisphere. One technique used in this political cartoon was labeling. The piece of land that the people were sitting on were labled Europe. This cartoon supports my stance on American Imperalism because part of American Imperalsim is that Ameirca should be in control and Europe interfering would disturb that.

 

Panama Canal

Panama Canal
The issue on this political cartoon is how Rooselvelt invaded another country to get the Panma Canal. The cartoonists message in the political cartoon is how Theodore Roosevelt did his best to have the Panama Canal. A foreginer might asl why the president was so desperate. But, Theodore wanted to have Ameirca be safe and also to to have travel time quicker to ship supplies. One technique that the cartoonists used what symblism. The boat that the president is on is an elephant which symbloized democrat's mascot. The cartoon supports my stance because it shows that America ws tryig not only help themselves, but was trying to help all the shipping boats to pass the canal. President Theodore Roosevelt is very anxious to get out of the boat.

Spanish American War

Spanish American War
The issue of the political cartoon is how America helped Cuban gain independence. The message in this political cartoon is that America used their own ships to help Cuba from Spain harsh rule. If a foreigner saw what America was doing in this political cartoon, they would probably think America was being kind to help other countries. But, some might say that America was intervening too much. Some techniques that were used in this political cartoon are exaggeration and labeling. Uncle Sam, the one pulling the boat, is exaggerated by size. Unlce Sam is pulling the Ameircan boat to the piece of land, that is labeled Havana, Cuba. This cartoon supports my stance on American Imperalism because it shows how a bigger country is helping out a small weak country with their power and wealth.

Annexation of Hawaii

Annexation of Hawaii
The issue in this political cartoon is how America unfairly took over Hawaii. The cartoonist's message is how America gained many valuable things because of Hawaii. If a Hawaiian person saw this cartoon the person might have been offended and mad that US took away their land. One technique that the cartoonist used was symbolism. The person in the nice clothe with a lot of money is American. The person that has a dark face with ragged clothes are the Hawaiians. This cartoon supports my stance on American Imperialism because it shows that America expanded more and more even out of the waters. I think that the Annexation of Hawaii was significant because America gained many things from it. First off, they expanded territory. Next, America gained a scarce resource in America which was sugar cane.

Panma Canal

Panama Canal
The issue in this political cartoon is how President Roosevelt is doing all he can possibly do to get the canal working. The cartoonists message is that President Theodore Roosevelt had and broke treaties, violated international laws, and even had Columbia protest to have this canal built in Panama.
If another person saw this cartoon, the person might have felt that Roosevelt was going way too extreme with the canal being built. But in the same sense, I feel that Roosevelt going a bit extreme is acceptable because he is determined to have America prosper in all good ways. Some techniques the cartoonist used in this cartoon are labeling and exaggeration. Theodore Roosevelt is on a wagon literally running over all the laws which represents exaggeration. The President is also on a road of regualtions, rules, and treaties that are all labeled. This cartoon supports my opinion on American Imperalism because it shows that one country is willing to do anything and everthing to exand borders and sphere of influence.

Open Door Policy

The issue of this political cartoon is on the start of the Open Door Policy. The message is how countries had to work together in hopes to find prosperity for their countries. This cartoon supports my view in American Imperialism because Uncle Sam is towering over all the countries showing his superiority over the other countries. This shows that America was a big contributor to the China trade. Some techniques the cartoonist uses in this cartoon is symbolism and also labeling. Uncle Sam is the only person standing and talking while other countries are just sitting and listening, which symbolizes its position. All the other countries including Uncle Sam are standing on the land that they are representing which labels where they are from. If a foreign person saw this cartoon, the person would probably say that America is hogging the trade in China.
