Description

It is argued that the missionary character of US foreign policy during the period was an "invented tradition," as Hobsbawm defines the concept, that had a strong influence when the US was taking its initial steps in foreign policy, as in the intervention in Cuba, & were consolidating the position of global players in the international political system, as in WWI. 22 References.
