Description
Editor's Note: Among the thinkers who have most profoundly influenced American foreign policy, few are as important as Alexander Hamilton and Alfred Thayer Mahan. This essay explores how Hamilton's ideas guided the nation toward dominance in North America, and how Mahan helped inspire its emergence as a global power in the twentieth century. --Ed. The idea of an American "empire" is not new to the twenty-first century. In fact, it is as old as the Republic itself. What some today call the "American Empire" emerged gradually and in two separate phases. The first phase began immediately after the War of Independence and lasted until the late nineteenth century. The second phase began around the time of the Spanish-American War in 1898 and continues to this day. Each phase of empire began with an idea championed by brilliant, articulate, and persuasive proponents.
