Imperalism-

Imperalism is when a nation builds an empire by taking over political and economical control of people. An example of this is Napoleon, a fellow short person. But, that is besides the point. What I am getting to is that America stood as a bystander. We didn't do anything as France, England, and other countries made an empire for themselves. No, we took the advice of our president George Washington, who warned us not to get involved with foreign affairs.  Later in  time though, we looked back at the advice as more of... guidelines per say. We began to take on more of a foreign manifest destiny. This was after conquering the Manifest Destiny. We began to look at expansion into foreign nations.
    This is an example of the theme "Foreign version of Manifest Destiny." This is because the Western Frontier was  conquered.  We then spread to  foreign  nations  in order to look  like  we were expanding America's views. We had a duty to expand our greatness.
