This course examines the assertion of US power from the conquest of the Philippines to the "global war on terror." What are the causes and consequences of America's cultural, political, military, and economic empires? Has the US been a force for democracy and freedom, as its leaders have claimed, or has it more often acted in opposition to self-determination and human rights?
