The United States as a World Power (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781026065549)

"The United States as a World Power" offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the transformation of the United States from an isolationist continental nation into a primary actor on the global stage. Written by esteemed historian and diplomat Archibald Cary Coolidge, this work meticulously examines the shifting dynamics of international relations at the dawn of the 20th century. The book analyzes the consequences of the Spanish-American War, the strategic implications of the Panama Canal, and the evolving nature of the Monroe Doctrine.

Coolidge provides a nuanced look at America's burgeoning influence in regions such as the Far East, Europe, and Latin America. By evaluating the social, economic, and political factors that propelled the nation into world affairs, the author offers a critical perspective on the responsibilities and challenges of global leadership. This work remains a significant historical text for understanding the foundations of modern American foreign policy and the geopolitical landscape of the early 1900s.
