US Imperialism 1800-1900

[CelestialEmbodiment]

The Rockefeller Foundation's Anglo-American Alliance is deeply engrained in the American psyche. Wendell Willkie, who never held elective office (as he maintained all the attributes of a dog except faithfulness), was a New World Order collectivist. This abominable critter wrote "One World," in 1943, which advocated the end of U.S. sovereignty for the betterment of Mankind. Willkie railed against F.D.R. and the New Deal while he worked for F.D.R. to further the Marxian goals of the New Deal.

This one, the 19th century, is far more exciting than the 20th century most of us have studied thouroughly in school.

[TheOneExpendable]

wow

[wnxsilence]

Also, you can discover a lot if you research the history of other Western imperialist powers such as America's imperial partner and predecessor Britain. Even comparatively small Western imperialist nations like Belgium and the Netherlands for example, have a long and very bloodly colonial history. It is known that up to 10 million people were murdered in a horrible colonial genocide in the Belgian Congo between the late 19th century and early 20th.

Anyway, keep up the great work!

[lodproductions90]

@wnxsilence I believe in fact that the European powers were more violent and ruthless in their pursuit of world domination than the United States. The pattern of all these, however, was always the same: first you send traders, then diplomats, then soldiers. Without knowing it, the host country was slowly "colonialized". Would be great to have an Imperialist timeline for all major colonialist countries. Takes a lot of time to research though. ;-)

[wnxsilence]

I think it would be a good idea if you mentioned the U.S-engineered overthrow of the democratically elected governments of Mossadeq in Iran 1953, and Arbenz in Quatemala 1954. These covert U.S-backed coups of the early 50's were in a sense, the beginning phase of a long contemporary history of U.S/Western interference in the affairs of other nations, which has had enormous historic signifigance and consequence.

[yorubablk3]

@wnxsilence that is mentioned.Just not in the period that focuses on the 19th as opposed to the 20th century

[wnxsilence]

Excellent work ! it is even greater than your last production. It is good that you have mentioned slavery once, and especially the massacre of American natives. Slavery and genocide are one of the two main pillars of Western imperialist and colonialist history.

[lodproductions90]

@wnxsilence Many thanks. Took a lot of work, but I hope it is helpful to remind people where global "power" does come from. :-)

[Luigi84289]

@wnxsilence No they aren't. Slavery is natural. There is nothing unique about the European powers use of it except for the fact that it only lasted a few hundred years as opposed to Islamic nations which took slaves for 1400 years and Africa which still has chattle slavery. People have been enslaving people forever. Europeans enslaved other Europeans as well. The strong always wish to suppress the weak and do the best they can. That is nothing unique to whites. Scarcity = Culprit

[Re5Publica]

Did you list the Barbary Wars as an example of U.S. imperialism? Is that a joke? Are you aware that before the U.S. finally decided to invade Tripoli that it was paying the Pasha tribute in order to stop attacking American ships? The U.S. did not start or desire that conflict, and it had nothing to do with imperialism, but by the admission of the barbary parties they attacked americans simply because of their own religious convictions and fervour (Muslim jihadists aren't new).

[vengencefrom1979]

have you ever compared the social evolution of the u.s. with canada? makes you think as to who - or what - has been working the u.s.

[Hobo4Craft]

I like how he sticks things in there like "Opening of Japan" or "China"... areas we never were aggressive towards but rather traded with. The people who were aggressive were the European powers in threatening them to break their isolation from the rest of the world. And if any of you have ever opened a European history textbook, you'd know about Europe's "insatiable appetite" for controlling weaker nations as well, especially in Africa.

[ColonelStarcraft]

@Hobo4Craft Dude, I know we both play Starcraft a lot, so I respect your enthusiam, but you still need time to read the history books. The opening of Japan was done by US military force and in China the US was a full-fletched imperial power that, among other nasty things, helped to burn down the Summer Palace and laid siege to Beijing.

[WantMonkeyToComment]

@ColonelStarcraft I was about to say something else... but now i gotta say that in the US we don't hear about the China stuff. Only France, Germany, the UK, Russia, and Japan and the US was there to "liberate China from the European powers" is the shit we have in the textbooks! No fucking way the US admits the looting of the Summer palace!

[WeToldYouSo1]

@Hobo4Craft Well, you should go to China or Japan and ask the Chinese and Japanese about it. ;-D

[ColonelStarcraft]

The US has an insatiable appetite for war and aggression and world domination. If we don't do it, someone else would.

[Hobo4Craft]

@ColonelStarcraft False.

This is very great what you have here... i wish things were like back then

[Mr2010Singh]

Thank you for this timeline. European powers in the 19th century had a far worse record than the United States. In the beginnings the US was dragged along and got greedy.

[DudemanClide]

is this promoting my country or dissing it?

[WeToldYouSo1]

@DudemanClide It is showing that we're all savages and that we will most likely continue our thing. ;-D

[moovgirl]

@DudemanClide Its dissing US as they all do. We are warmongers. What a crock of shit. No more than any country. All countries go to war. Not advocating war. Just saying...

[DudemanClide]

@moovgirl we fuckin save the world twice and this is the thanks we get? thanks world.

[hardstyle905]

@DudemanClide "saved the word twice" LMFAO typical ignorant american propaganda bullshit.

what nonsense do they teach in american schools? oh, almost forgot....they also still teach that evolution is wrong and we all came from adam and eve LMAO!!!!!!!!!

[DudemanClide]

@hardstyle905 you dont know shit from apple butter fag

[hardstyle905]

@moovgirl really? but the usa has the audacity to call themselves "non interventionists" and at the same time they're killing civilians in iraq. LMAO!

[hardstyle905]

@moovgirl "all countries go to war" that might be true. but while it proves very difficult to find 5 years of peace in american history, europe has learned most of its lessons. germany hasnt been in a war since 1945. and no, I will NOT count iraq, because YOU dragged us into that shit. How many wars has the US been in since 1945????

America = WORLD POLICE. But not for much longer.

[WantMonkeyToComment]

Oh dear...

[bugsme10]

1:50 - no one has suffered more.

i like this very much.

[Luigi84289]

@bugsme10 Um yes people have. The bolshevik revolution in Russia resulted in the deaths of 60 million Christians and Mao put down hundreds of millions of his own people when China turned Communist just to name 2 examples. You have to be tough and protect your resources or other people who need them will take them to survive and propagate their people. Overcrowding and persecution in Europe lead to Americans taking a small chunk of land and slowly overtaking the continent to preserve their people
