Overseas Exploration Quiz - short/answer response.

Hello 8th graders,

The following questions will be on Tuesday's quiz. There are three questions, and you only have to answer two! Choose whichever two you like:

1. What were the causes of the Spanish-American War? What were the outcomes and effects of the Spanish-American War on the United States? What choice would you have made if you were president of the United States in 1898 and the S.S. Maine blew up and the press exaggerated the stories of that event?

2. There are three reasons why Americans supported Colonial Expansion. Identify and describe the three reasons and finally state your opinion on the three reasons. Do you agree with all of them? If not, which one do you not agree with?

3. Describe the political cartoon below. Identify the policy which it represents and state if you agree with it or not. What choice would you have made if you were the president after the president below and the U.S. was viewed as a bully by other countries?
