  11. Unit I: America as a World Power Ch. 10 & 11 The Americans Ch. 19-21; 22-25 History Alive! In this era of national expansion, American influence stretched from sea to shining sea and beyond. For much of the 1800s, Americans focused their attention inward on continental expansion. Late in the century, people began looking outward for new territory to conquer and new markets for American goods. By 1900, the American eagle could spread its wings across a small empire. In 1917, U.S. troops crossed the Atlantic to fight in Europe’s first world war. As that war ended, Americans began to ponder a new question:  "Should the United States take on the challenge of spreading its founding ideals around the globe?"
