The Age of Imperialism

As we look ahead to the Age of Imperialism in America, we embark on another internet search:

1) There is only one royal residence within the borders of the United States.  For step one, 1) Post a picture of the residence 2) Post a picture of the last royal monarch to live there and 3) Briefly explain how the United States overthrew their government.

2) One concept we will be discussing next week is yellow journalism.  One of the most famous papers to practice this type of journalism was Joseph Pulitzer's New York World.  This Slate article deals with the changing face of the newspaper, from its glory days under Pulitzer where it was literally a work of art, to the black and whtite of today.  Give a brief summary of this article.

3) Lastly, William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer are widely credited with getting the United States involved in the Spanish-American War.  This seems like quite a charge to levy against two newspapermen.  Give an explanation (minimum of one paragraph 5-8 sentences) of why this charge would be made.  Use at least two internet websites (post the links) to support your opinion.

EXTRA CREDIT!!!!
Explore this map of the American strategy in the Spanish-American War (sorry, it's not the best).  What does our strategy seem to be?  How many fronts will we be fighting on?  What seems to be our initial and ultimate goals?
