Frank Ninkovich shows that a cultural predisposition for thinking in global terms blossomed in the late nineteenth century, making possible the rise to world power as American liberals of the time took a wide-ranging interest in the world. Of little practical significance during a period when isolationism reigned supreme in U.S. foreign policy, this rich body of thought would become the cultural foundation of twentieth-century American internationalism.InternationalismHistory19th centuryNational characteristics, AmericanHistory19th centuryUnited StatesForeign relations1865-1898United StatesCivilization1865-1918United StatesRace relationsHistory19th centuryInternationalismHistoryNational characteristics, AmericanHistory973.7NK 4600rvkNinkovich Frank A.1944-145110MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963718303321Global dawn4367112UNINA
