Answer Key
1. A good answer will include most of the following:
The United States in effect possesses a colonial empire in terms of influence and trade,
although it does not directly administer the empire. In this way, the situation is similar to the
influence that Europeans exercised in China and the Middle East during the nineteenth century.
Chapter 24
Ch 24-9
The United States has sought, through economic penetration, political pressure, and periodic
military action, to create societies and governments compatible with its values and interests, but
without directly governing large populations for long periods of time.
A central means of accomplishing this has been through the use of economic muscle, creating
an empire of production that draws on the United States immense wealth to entice or
intimidate potential collaborators.
Another form of power that critics cite is the soft power of Americas cultural attractiveness,
its political and cultural freedoms, the economic benefits of cooperation, and the general
willingness of many to follow the American lead voluntarily.

Compare and contrast the feminist movements of the nineteenth century and the second
half of the twentieth century.
2.
Answer Key
1. A good answer will include most of the following:
Both were international movements, although the twentieth-century movement had a wider
following outside the West than did its nineteenth-century counterpart.
Both movements sought equal rights for women, though in the second half of the twentieth
centurybecause women in the West had already achieved the right to votethe focus of
organized feminism shifted to issues like equal rights in education and employment.
In each period, the feminist movement encompassed a number of smaller movements, though
the feminist movement of the second half of the twentieth century had more submovements than
did the earlier feminist movement, and some of the latter-day submovements, especially those in
the developing world, were not explicitly gender-based.
