The United States is one complex historical rollercoaster of ups and downs but ultimately a great success from being a series of British colonies to the country we know today. As Stated by Rosenberg, “the growth of American power from the 1890’s to the 1940’s was spectacular.” Henry Luce’s profound belief, as noted by Dr. Rosenberg, in liberal developmentalism, which she sees as the ideological basis for US economic and cultural expansion between 1890 and 1945 was essentially directly promoted to ensure the durability and longevity of the country’s success in its various endeavors.
