Which factor, self-interest or idealism, was more important in driving American foreign policy in the years 1895-1920?
How should I start this essay and what points should I include? What exactly is self-interest and idealism? What happened between 1895 and 1920? Any other help or suggestions? Any specific details I should put? Thanks. :)
