black people and those who tried to help them succeeded. Both of these examples solved

an internal problem. In the 1800’s it was slavery and in the 1960’s it was equal rights.

History continuously builds on itself.

The Vietnam War was fought to uphold capitalism. The Russians were trying to

take over Vietnam and turn it into a communist country. America did not want this to

happen because the growth of communism was bad for capitalism. America needed to

defeat communism in order to maintain their position as a world power. America was not

only fighting this war to defeat communism but to make sure that a form of government

was not forced upon an unwilling country. Part of the United States foreign policy was

that they would not let a country force their ways onto another country. It was also in

their best interest not to let a country dominate the world. All of this is sort of an

extension of the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine states that if a foreign country

owned a colony in America then it could stay as long as it did not try to expand. The war

in Vietnam was to keep communist Russia from expanding into noncommunist Vietnam.

America briefly expanded the Monroe Doctrine to apply to all countries. They did not put

it down on paper but only used it to defend their power.

America developed a strong continental empire by accomplishing the five things

needed for a strong continental empire. America started slowly by developing a

government that was trusted by the people. Once they accomplished this they started

filling in the pieces of the continental empire puzzle. They developed a strong central

government. Then America began gaining land, which led to conflicts with foreign

nations. As the United States of America grew, its’ infrastructure of money,

transportation, and other aspects grew. With this grew the need to solve internal

problems. Some of the roots of these internal problems are based in economic, social, and

political matters. Not only did America develop into a continental, empire it has stayed

one. It has stood up to many challenges since its humble beginning and will continue to

into the new millennium.
