Question

How do you think people of other cultures and nations viewed the ideas of manifest destiny?

Answer 1

I don't think other cultures and nations were happy about Manifest Destiny. According to this theory, Americans were superior when compared to others, and due to this fact, they thought they had the right to spread all over the American continent in order to claim their right. They didn't pay much attention to other cultures because they wanted to strengthen their own, which is why I don't think other people liked the idea as much as the Americans did.

Answer 2

Answer:

  Other cultures and nations viewed the ideas in a bad way. Because those ideas made them lose territory that once belongs to them.

Explanation:

  Manifest destiny idea was a philosophy held during the 19th century in the United States. It was about territorial expansion and it sustained that the U.S. was destined to expand its dominion and capitalism throughout the entire North American continent.

  This philosophy was the basis of the Mexican-American war at the beginning of the century and led to the debate about if the new territories conquered would allow slavery. A debate that eventually lead to the American Civil War.

  The cultures of the people whom territories were occupied were mistreated, most of them were Native American or Hispanics.
