Hello everyone. Today we discussed imperialism within Latin America. We will finish our discussion during the next class. For homework, please read the two sources provided (Albert Beveridge speech and Pablo Neruda poem) and answer the following questions:
1.) How does Beveridge gain support for American imperialism within his speech? What methods does he use?
2.) Which arguments for the American empire do you find most persuasive?
3.) According to Neruda, what are the effects of American imperialism?
4.) How does nationalism play a role in both of these sources? Which one do you find the most persuasive and why?
Also remember that your European current events are due on Friday. We will spend the first 15 minutes of class discussing the events before we begin our review for our test (which is scheduled for Tuesday, March 18). The study guide is due on the day of the test. Please email me if you have any questions. Have a great day!
~Mr. Mazur
