The Evolution of the Progressive Movement and U.S. Actions in World Events

The Progressive Movement emerged to address the significant challenges posed by urbanization and industrialization, including inadequate sanitation and corruption. Middle-class concerns led to the rise of muckrakers like Ida Tarbell and Upton Sinclair, who exposed unsafe practices. The movement coincided with pivotal U.S. actions in foreign affairs and wars, including the Spanish-American War, which increased U.S. global power and led to the Panama Canal's construction. The U.S. also played a crucial role in World War I, transitioning from isolation to contributing to Allied victories and shaping post-war Europe.
