Economic and commercial consideration in the American foreign policy

Abstract

The American imperialism began about 100 years ago, in 1890, with the end of the Frontier, an imaginary line that separated civilization from wilderness and that was constantly moving towards west. The Second World War, the rise of new markets, development of new technologies stimulated the US and seem to have insured its success since 1940. The US realized that an isolationist policy was inadequate since its growth and prosperity depended on the international economy.
