I received my Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Riverside. My fields are modern US (19th and 20th century) and modern Europe (19th and 20th century).

Matching its new industrial power was the desire to extend its influence and compete among the European powers for dominance. The Spanish-American War marked the entry of the United States as an international power by possessing the last remains of Spain’s colonial empire, most notably, the Philippines. Anglo-Saxonism, the belief in the “inherent superiority” of the English-speaking peoples became the ideology justifying American colonial expansion. As the new colonial master, American policymakers attempted to apply the ideals of Anglo-Saxonism in the goal of “uplifting” the Filipino people and teach them the arts of self-government. The Pacific became the arena in which the United States would compete for influence in order to gain access to markets in Asia and to acquire naval bases. However, the United States would face the newly-unified German Empire for dominance in the Pacific. Anglo-Saxonists had hoped to include the Germans into the Anglo-Saxon family due to similarities in language and ethnicity. However, suspicion and competition contributed to tensions as Germany and the United States competed for influence, particularly in the Philippines and Samoa. This paper will examine the impact of Anglo-Saxonism on the foreign policy establishment in the United States in the decades following the Civil War and the competition between the United States and Germany for control of the Pacific.

Anglo-Saxonism has evolved as an ideology to suit the times, from the founding myths of the English people to the late nineteenth century as a justification for imperial expansion.

Anglo-Saxonism is an ideology that has been adapted to suit the needs of the time, from the founding myths that unified the English people to the late nineteenth century when Social Darwinism was added as a component to justify imperial expansion.

World War I was a global cataclysm that toppled centuries-old dynasties and launched “the American century.” Yet at the outset few Americans saw any reason to get involved in yet another conflict among the crowned heads of Europe. Despite its declared neutrality, the U.S. government gradually became more sympathetic with the Allies, until President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany to “make the world safe for democracy.” Key to this shift in policy and public opinion was the belief that the English-speaking peoples were inherently superior and fit for world leadership. Just before the war, British and American elites set aside former disputes and recognized their potential for dominating the international stage. By casting Germans as “barbarians” and spreading stories of atrocities, the Wilson administration persuaded the public—including millions of German Americans—that siding with the Allies was a just cause.
Americans like to think of themselves as anti-imperialists, having established the United States ... more Americans like to think of themselves as anti-imperialists, having established the United States after a struggle for independence from Great Britain, a colonial empire. However, for the first half of the twentieth century, the United States acquired a colonial empire after victory in the Spanish-American War. This paper will examine the motives behind American imperialism in the final years of the nineteenth century and how American policymakers used British and other European colonial models to govern the Philippines.
