The Spanish Debate On The Americas

The allegations of Juan Ness de Cepel Beda, Bartolome de Las Casas and Francisco de Vitoria on native American settlements and colonization are presented in different ways, but the same. All three Spaniards said that the Spaniards were mentally excellant and because the sacred and natural law gave the Spaniard the right to conquer and enslave the Native American people, We believe we have to accept. The basis of Spain's conquest is their interpretation of the Bible.

The terrorist war in the United States and the invasion of Iraq caused a new academic debate about the scope of American imperialism. This argument is not new. It occurs in every aspect of America's history, such as the Spanish-American war at the end of the 19th century and the Vietnam War of the 1960s. The majority of the discussion has focused on whether the United States is entitled to be technically "empire". Although the use of this term is controversial, the great power of the United States is not debatable, and even if the United States is not really an empire, its foreign policy can be characterized as an empire in every aspect of its history I can do it. Doctrine. The problem is whether these imperialist tendencies are intentional or accidental. Some people call the United States a "military advantage of the pursuit of world domination" (Johnson 2004: 4), but others consider it a "passive superpower" (Ikenberry 2006: 154).

In 1898 Cuban activists began warfare unrelated to Spain and the US intervened in their side. When the war ended in Spain's defeat, the American anti-imperialists prevented America from merging Cuba, but the imperialists successfully placed it in the area of ​​semi-imperialism; The American base in Guantanamo Bay was a relic of this arrangement. At the end of the war, the United States also captured the other three Spanish assets.
