Document Summary

There is a will to have a balance of power in europe from the two sides. The us policy towards the rest of the world is evolving example of the spanish-american war in 1898. Before 1898, the us doesn"t really look after what is outside their coastlines. Then, they help panama splitting off from columbia. American in uence in panama remains high to this day the union (called united states of colombia 1863 1886 and the republic of. Colombia since 1886) was made possible by the active participation of usa under the 1846 bidlack. The us also got strongly involved into the panama canal. Today we take for granted that the us are the main power in america but it is something that happened in a short time. Regarding europe, us wasn"t politically involved, only trade ties relations between russia and us at the beginning of the 20th are correct but not that good.
