Creating a Metaphor

Metaphor statements:

From the U.S. perspective, intervention in (location) was like (first metaphor).

From the perspective of (location), U.S. intervention was like (second metaphor).

Visual representations:

Create a visual representation to illustrate and help explain each metaphor.

“Because” statements:

Below each visual explain the relationship between the metaphor and actual

historical events.

From the perspective of the U.S.,

intervention in Cuba was like a parent

caring for a helpless child because . . .

• a military government set up by the U.S.

after the Spanish-American War cared for

Cuba by improving public works,

sanitation, and education, court reform,

and instituting self-government, just as a

parent cares for a child until he is mature

enough to care for himself

From the perspective of Cuba, U.S.

intervention was like a bully on a

playground because . . .

• the U.S. set up a military government in

Cuba (though it had been granted

independence after the Spanish-American

War) and denied Cubans self-rule, just as a

bully tries to control and intimidate other

children on the playground.

More detail…

Reservationists

Reservationists would only ratify the Treaty of

Versailles if some changes, called reservations,

were added to it.

Reservationists were most concerned about Article

10 of the League of Nations charter, which

required member nations to work together—and

even supply troops—to keep the peace.

Republican Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, the leader

of the reservationists, had both personal and

political reasons for opposing the treaty.

Irreconcilables

Irreconcilables, who were completely against the

Treaty of Versailles, wanted no part in the League

of Nations, which might draw the nation into a new

war.

Republican Senator William Borah was an

outspoken irreconcilable.

Internationalists

Internationalists supported the Treaty of Versailles

and believed that greater cooperation among

nations could work for the benefit of all.

Most Senate Democrats were internationalists.

As ratification hearings dragged on, Americans

began to lose interest. Wilson went on a grueling

speaking tour. Though he picked up support, he

became very sick.

The treaty with reservations was defeated (twice)

by irreconcilables and other Democrats who Wilson

had encouraged to vote down anything but the

treaty in its original form.

1920 Election

Democrat - James Cox and Franklin Roosevelt.

Republican - Warren G. Harding

Wilson called the 1920 election a “great and solemn

referendum” on the League, but most Americans were

more concerned about inflation and unemployment.

Harding won by 7 million votes.

In October 1921, the United States signed a separate

peace agreement with Germany and did not become

a member of the League of Nations.
