Description
This scholarly volume examines the origins of the United States' 1898 war with Spain through competing historical frameworks and political narratives. The "progressive" reading of history identifies two major antecedents: the 1896 presidential election and the Hearst-Pulitzer press war, which allegedly stirred public demand for conflict. President McKinley, War and Empire assesses the adequacy of these readings by exploring the theoretical underpinnings that shaped American foreign policy during this pivotal era. The work contrasts a class-dominance view with mass society theory, offering historians and political science readers a rigorous examination of how William McKinley's administration navigated the complex pressures of presidential politics, media influence, and imperial ambition. Part of the American Presidents Series published by Routledge, this book provides essential context for understanding how domestic politics and public opinion intersected with American expansionism at the turn of the 20th century.
