The Inter-Oceanic Canal And The Monroe Doctrine

""The Inter-Oceanic Canal and the Monroe Doctrine"" by Alfred Williams is a historical account of the United States' efforts to construct an inter-oceanic canal in Central America during the late 19th century. The book explores the geopolitical motivations behind the canal's construction, including the desire to establish a more efficient trade route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and to assert American dominance in the region. The author also examines the role of the Monroe Doctrine in shaping American foreign policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean, and how it influenced the decision to build the canal. Through a detailed analysis of primary sources, including government documents and personal correspondence, Williams provides a comprehensive overview of the political, economic, and social factors that shaped the canal's construction and its impact on the region. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American foreign policy and the development of Central America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
