| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Situating post-1945 military bases in their deeper history, this essay argues that fortified enclaves—forts, trading posts, and other “Little Americas” on foreign soil—have always played key but often-overlooked roles in U.S. nation building and empire. Analyzing outpost strategy across varied landscapes reveals new connections between overland and overseas expansion. |
