    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School THE CRUCIBLE OF EMPIRE: THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN THE CHINA RELIEF EXPEDITION OF 1900 A Dissertation in History by Xiangyun Xu 2019 Xiangyun Xu Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2019 The dissertation of Xiangyun Xu was reviewed and approved* by the following: Amy Greenberg George Winfree Professor of American History Dissertation Co-Advisor Committee Co-Chair David Atwill Associate Professor of History Dissertation Co-Advisor Committee Co-Chair Sophie De Schaepdrijver Professor of History Nicolai Volland Associate Professor of Asian Studies and Comparative Literature Michael Kulikowski Head of the Department *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the significance of the China Relief Expedition of 1900 in the history of the United States as an empire. It demonstrates how the American decision to intervene in the Boxer Uprising and their perception of the ensuing expedition were entangled with political, gender, and racial norms in the United States formed through westward expansion, Chinese exclusion, and the Spanish-American War of 1898. The transmission and application of these norms across national boundaries applied not only to statesmen and ordinary people at home, but also servicemen in China, even though the latter’s experience in China had the potential to modify some of those stereotypes. The dissertation also reveals that by observing other forces in action, U.S. servicemen learned valuable lessons that would later be of help in the Philippines and other future encounters, and formed opinions of other countries that would later influence their stance on issues like the Russo-Japanese War of 1904- 05 and World War I.

GEAR ELEVENTH GOVERNOR OF IOWA Iowa in the Spanish War/* When it became evident in the spring of 1898 that the contro- versy with Spain would result iD war, the general assembly, at the suggestion of the governor, personally conveyed to the members, appropriated the sum of $500,000, or so much thereof as might be necessary, to be used in the defense of the state and in aid of the National government in case of war.

  • William D. Leahy and America's Imperial Years, 1893-1917
    WILLIAM D. LEAHY AND AMERICA'S IMPERIAL YEARS, 1893-1917. Gerald E. Thomas Srs» SUMMARY This dissertation deals with American imperialism at the turn of the century as seen through the eyes of a young naval officer, William D. Leahy. Other works which have examined these years have dealt with strategic, political, or economic matters, or with famous naval figures of the times. This study, in contrast, focuses on the experiences of William D. Leahy, whose very "averageness" makes his early life an over- looked window through which the events of his day may be examined. During the first two decades of his half-century career, Leahy saw in action the first two of Admiral Mahan's "international principles"--cooperation in the Far East, and dominance in the Caribbean, Central America (and the Philippines). Leahy's experiences help to throw a new light on how American imperialism affected both the victims of America's policies and those who had to carry out those policies. Chapter 1, "The Cutting Edge, " is an introduction to the disser- tation. Chapter 2, "A Typical Naval Cadet," examines Leahy's formative background and his education at the Naval Academy. Chapter 3, "Baptism of Fire," introduces him into the fighting Navy in the battle off Santiago, Cuba during the Spanish American War. Chapter 4, "Shanghai and Amoy, "follows Leahy's participation in the events of the Boxer Rebellion. Chapter 5, "The Philippines and After--Years of Growth" takes Leahy through the Ameri- can conquest of the Philippines. Although the Philippines were technically in the Far East, the basic assumptions of American foreign policy toward dealing with weak, non-white, nations resulted in an American policy of repression and subjugation of popular Filipino forces led by Emilio Aguinaldo, The result was the same as in Latin America--total, if disguised American political and economic hegemony.
