Name : Thu Nguyen Title : The New Western History The Western frontier is arguably one of the most significant advances in American History that has lead to different interpretations by American Historians from different contemporary time periods. The work of Frederick Jackson Turner, “The Significance of the Frontier on American History”, describes the advancement of the west as a glorious and triumphant event.

The investigation does not focus merely on whether American intervention in Cuba, and its concurrent declaration of War on Spain, was imperialistic; I also seek to examine how different schools of thought – Revisionist, Economic, Marxist and Cultural – characterise this imperialism and explain its contribution to war’s outbreak. The question developed from contemporary
Imperialism is defined as the creation and maintenance of an unequal economic, cultural and territorial relationship, usually between states and often in the form of an empire, based on domination and subordination. (1) With the freeing up of excess labor for many different functions and the Industrial Revolution in full swing, this saw the need for more resources and materials for production of unique items and the need for much larger amounts of resources. This led to nations wanting to expand their rule to gain access to resources. I personally believe that Colonialism led to Imperialism. European nations began by establishing colonies in foreign areas to gain access to new resources that could not be easily accessed in Europe.
The most significant of these factors included social change, technical/ scientific innovations, economic transition and prevalent ideological thought. Each of these factors had an affect on the other, although its pace varied in the different countries within Western Europe. These convergent forces, including the development of maritime enterprise, allowed the domination of the evolving global economy by Western Europe. Social Changes There were slow social changes that eventually made the market system possible and brought about economic change. Adam Smith stated that we always have a predilection to “truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another.” There has never been a society which
