After One Hundred Years of Service: Hegemony, Pan-Americanism, and the Monroe Doctrine Centennial Anniversary, 1923 / Bryne, Alex

	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

In 1923, the United States celebrated the centennial anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine. Overlooked by historians, the centennial served as more than an isolated moment of memorialisation; this analysis investigates the ways in which it shaped and reflected domestic perceptions of the place of the United States in the world during the early 1920s. The various celebratory events that took place across the nation re-enforced the discordant nature of United States national security by emphasising and exacerbating the doctrine’s disputed meaning. By providing a forum in which it could be scrutinised, the centennial emphasised the policy’s fractured meaning and demonstrated that both regional hegemony in the Western Hemisphere and Pan-Americanism were perceived as core values of United States national security that emanated from the doctrine’s enunciation in 1823.

Summary/Abstract

A range of issues confronted government officials in the aftermath of the Great Kant? Earthquake, but almost immediately they began efforts to resume education. This article examines how educators overcame numerous challenges in order to recommence primary school education and return children to makeshift classrooms in the ruins of Tokyo. Education was viewed as an important means to help restore a sense of normality in the lives of displaced school children at this time of extraordinary upheaval. Educators were concerned not only with the material reconstruction and recovery of schools, but also the physical and mental recovery of children.
