it is already an empire, but it is a pacific empire. what is that all about? as you know, the americans have been battling with the japanese for a while to become the pacific empire. it starts in hawaii, long before we even take over territory in the philippines and create a colony. yes, we are very conscious of the japanese. on the other hand, there is a great opportunity to rewrite history here to show the degree to which asia-pacific is absolutely essential for the viability of the independent american republic. it goes back to the china trade that the americans need a china trade to be economically viable. anyone who is anyone are investing in china trade. that is very important. the otter trade becomes important along san francisco in washington. that becomes viable because the chinese want otter skins. this is what you can trade for chinese tea. the asia-pacific for the united states is very critical even long before the 20th century. the macarthurs knew that. that leads to a certain amount of competitive rivalry with the japanese. there is plenty of rec

it's already an empire. but the pacific empire. well what's that all about? the americans felt that -- as you know, the americans have sort of been battling with the japanese for a while now to become the pacific empire. it starts in hawaii. long before we even sort of take over the territories in the philippines and create a colony in the philippines. and so yes we're very conscious of the japanese. but on the other hand if japan -- if i were to read -- there's a great opportunity to rewrite american history here to show the degree to which asia pacific is just absolutely essential for the viability of the independent american republic. with that, it goes back to the china trade. the americans need a china trade to be viable vis-a-vis britain. and it's a -- you know anyone who's anyone with decoration robert morris they're investing in china trade. and then -- so that's very important. china becomes important. the otter trade becomes important. all along the san francisco and washington and those guys become -- you know become viable because the chinese want

it's already an empire but it's a pacific empire. well, what's that all about?the americans thought -- you know, as you know americans have been battling with the japanese for a while now to be the pacific empire. it starts in hawaii. long before we even sort of take over in the philippines. yes, we're very conscious of the japanese. and it goes back to the china trade. the americans need a china trade in order to be economically viable, visa-a-vis britain. anyone who's anyone, the declaration or whatever robert morris, they are investing in china trade. null and so that's very important. china becomes important. the otter trade becomes important along san francisco and washington. those guys become viable because the chinese want our skins. this is what you can sorted of -- this is what you can trade for chinese tea. null and then the japanese -- the american navy merchant marine the largest portion of the merchant marine is in the pacific and it's substantial by the -- at least 1850s as i recall. so, it's -- asia-pacific for the united states is very critical

that was the political empire. and it encompassed, of course the west indies as well as the continental american colonies. that was part of it. but it was also a commercial empire. and the commercial empire, quite frankly from the british point of view, was really more important. time and again if you were to read the debates of the british parliament in the 1770s, which are fascinating if rather or long winded the debates of the british parliament referred again and again to what they called the commercial interests of great britain. and the commercial interests were what they thought were the permanent and important interests of great britain. in other words, keeping the world free for british exporters and importers. tradesmen from london. and this commercial empire was essentially in the 1770s an empire of what i call speculation. and there's a chapters -- there's a whole section of the book called empire of speculation. in other words primarily based on great big flows back and forth of commodities; sugar from

and winston churchill himself, it was worth holding on to the whole of the empire. we were what you wish for, franklin roosevelt, america was the greatest nation in the world. and and all of the korean war and vietnam war the two iraq worse, horribly expensive. nothing to show for it. it was heartbreaking to be the top dog in life. you can see why too. one of the great achievements of franklin roosevelt was the way it could never be used again. it is so poisonous, gets to that point of view. let me stress before i go any further i am not an isolationist. and go on to say why they are 9 interventionist where many of the euphemisms. and helping people abroad foreign aid, they think the military should be cut drastically in the interest of fiscal conscience keeping the deficit down but what it would mean if you remove half of america's military. since 1945 in places like japan, korea, germany, all of these defeated nations and they are there for purpose to they turn the world and when people say maybe china ought to step up to the plate a bit more often, particularly w

it's empire spelled its governments and states were ruined. of course that's what happens in the great war. so without the great war story it's impossible to understand where this guy could come from and how he could get into the position he is in. so it's necessary to go with gurin explained to the reader what happened in the great war and world war i and how the old world destroyed itself baking and opening for an individual like this from the periphery from a poor family and marginal character by any estimation when he's born in 1878 but obviously a world historical figure within about 45 years. so russian power in the world, stalin's power in russia. how did he get power and how did he become the first -- . if you know stones biography from reading other versions of it there are many really fantastic stories and some of the existing biographies of stalin and i took it upon myself to go and see in the original documentation whether these fantastically interesting stories happened or not. and you will if you are for me with his biography not

the word, but the idea that they are creating an empire, the republicans are creating an empire that is destroying individualism in american society, individual is -- individuals no longer have a shot. now keep in mind that taxes are extraordinarily low, and the government does very little, that he creates this image that the real problem is that republicans have a stranglehold on power they are increasing the size of the government, they are keeping the republicans in government, democrats will never get a shot, basically if you are a white democrat you are out of luck, you're not going to have a say in the society again. this happens again with the passage of the military reconstruction act and the 15th amendment passage when african-americans start to vote, and what white democrats say in the south but also in the north is that they created their own constituency, and these people are always going to vote for republicans because the republicans are going to give them stuff they are going to give them roads and courts and all of that, and the idea is not that they want to be fair t

this area remains the longest part of the british empire anywhere in the world. jamaica did not get its independence or trinidad until the early 1960's. places like the leeward islands were not getting their independence until the late 1970's. there are some small islands like the turks and caicos and came on the islands -- cayman islands still remain in some [indiscernible] or another. it was true of the spanish and french islands. cuba was the last part of spanish america to get its independence from spain. it is less impressed by the fact that they did not rebel. what i was really fascinated by was why didn't they even write pamphlets against the stamp act, the townshend duties, against this new trend in british authority to introduce more direct government? they say almost nothing. we know enough that they did not like those policies, but they would later become extremely vociferous and extremely political against the slave trade. why didn't they on this occasion? one of the ideas circulating in america, common sense, reached the islands and circulated. there

and empirical researchers have tried to hone in on that question. and specific research has shown that the theory that the direction is from donor to judicial behavior has support in some specific ways. so, for example, studies have shown that judicial behavior changes as elections draw near. so as the fact, whether you continue in office or not or pick an opponent in contested elections makes more salient the effective decisions on your future. you change what you're doing. then you reset back after the election is over. so they're more likely to hand down stiffer sentences in criminal cases as re-election draws near. they're more likely to support prosecutors and criminal procedure disputes, and they are less likely to grant reprieves in capital cases. if you focus on donors and donors perception about the direction of causality. donors have given to judges who did not previously support their position. donors have given to judges who face no opposition. finally, and i think this is in my view one of the most persuasive findings. judges' behavior

no american-statesman who claim to establish the world empire, but nato was established two years after burnham wrote to the imposition of american wishes on elected allies at suez reveals the clear light of the crunch the u.s. enjoyed a power over its allies that fell only a little short of the imperial. why did or not receive so little credit? the reason may have been on the great topic of the day namely how to resist communism, he was thought to be too confident and too aggressive in his strategic proposals. the public impression was unjustified. histories of titles and communism did not accurately describe the more measured spirit of his boat and they tend to change it for that very reason. the promise is not to be fulfilled for 40 years after burnham died. in the meantime, burnham could get any number of answers to critics who were certain he had been proved wrong beginning with read the book.

the soviet empire was truly inn crumbles. russian was an economic basket case. overnight russia went from over 70 years of communism to capital him, and most in russia had no concept of what capitalism was. they had no idea what to do. the morale in russia was very low, from the strong soviet empire to now begging the west for money. what happened here? unfortunately it got worse for the russians before it got better. for example in 1994 they lost the invasion -- the first war in chechneya, the chechen rebels send the russian army back home. after the fall of the soviet union, putin, who was in east germany, went back to st. petersburg and becames a an sizer on international affairs to the mayor of st. petersburg. this where is putin created his inner network who were to travel with him to moscow and spend the next 20 years of his life together. i nickname them the st. petersburg boys. one of them is dmitry medvedev. he first started as just an assistant to putin in st. petersburg later on became prime minister, then president back to prime minister and ran the

americans transform from a largely tobacco_based empire to a con_based empire.f there's one thing i want you to get out of this class it is that slavery is not just a southern history topic. it is in american history topic. scholars that study this topic see that slavery has its tentacles in the corner of everything in southern and northern society. new york bankers were in the cotton empire. when the war breaks out, many people who sympathize with the confederacy are from the north. northerners have their money sunk into this enterprise. this is an american institution. this week in class, i want to look at the attitudes of white americans towards race and slavery during roughly this time.. then we will look at african_americans and what they thought. it is really not that hard to get at what the extremist thought about slavery __ abolitionists. men and women agreed that slavery need __ needed to go. they write things down, they were very loud about what they feel. we will talk about these people. they are pretty easy to get at. at the other end, the proslavery
