The expansion of the United States of America: Audiovisual teaching materials


In this collection you will find image and sound fragments about the expansion of the United States of America, along with more context and concrete teaching tips.

In this collection we highlight the transformation of the United States from a local power to an imperialist superpower in the 19th century. The westward expansion was accompanied by economic growth, construction of railroads, expulsion of Native Americans, destruction of forests and bison until the Monroe Doctrine and control of Latin America, the Pacific Ocean and the Panama Canal.
