was negotiated
between America
and Korea, the
first such treaty
that Korea had
signed with a
western country.

The cost of coal caused Congress and
some senior officers to want to revert
to sails, causing existing boilers and
engines to be replaced with smaller
ones or removed.

a more precise trajectory

Naval officers
often had to learn
many languages
to communicate
with their crew.

Admiral Porter and Commander
Luce acquired a brilliant staff
of young administrators and
instructors.
They raised academic standards,
instituted an honor system, set
up programs of athletics, and
encouraged creative expression
and healthy social activities.

Midshipmen Honor Concept
"Midshipmen are persons of integrity:
They stand for that which is right. They
tell the truth and ensure that the full
truth is known. They do not lie. They
embrace fairness in all actions.
They ensure that work submitted
as their own is their own, and that
assistance received from any source
is authorized and properly documented.
They do not cheat. They respect the
property of others and ensure that
others are able to benefit from the use
of their own property. They do not steal."

The U.S. Naval Institute
Established in 1873
The U.S. Naval Institute was established
on the grounds of the Naval Academy.
It was composed of officers and civilian
instructors whose purpose was to:
Advance professional and scientific
knowledge about the U.S. Navy, other
world navies, and the maritime
industry
![Page 23: 1.5 The Rise To World Power Status](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103000/5551a1e6b4c9053c488b4b98/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
First published
in 1875, the
Proceedings is
still the foremost
naval and maritime
publication of its
type in the world.

Captain
Alfred T. Mahan
• President of the
Naval War College
in 1886
• Published writer
of his sea power
findings in 1890,
1892, and 1897
• The foremost
expert on sea
power and naval
strategy
![Page 29: 1.5 The Rise To World Power Status](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103000/5551a1e6b4c9053c488b4b98/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Mahan believed that
the following was
essential to become
a world power or for
national survival:
• Control of the sea
• Fleet of capital
ships
• Overseas bases in
colonies under the
control of the
aspiring powerCaptain Alfred
Thayer Mahan
![Page 30: 1.5 The Rise To World Power Status](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103000/5551a1e6b4c9053c488b4b98/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Mahan’s work received acclaim world-
wide, especially in Europe and the Far
East. It also seemed to justify the new
imperialism that had become rampant
among nations in the last part of the
nineteenth century.

In 1872, the French
introduced the use
of steel in ship
construction, and
the British followed
suit.
Other improvements included:
• Armor • Propulsion • Armament

Aware of advances
in naval and other
military technology
through contacts
with Perry, the door
to Western trade was
opened to Japan in
the 1850s.

Japan had to worry
about China
becoming a naval
power, and Russia
taking control of
the ice-free ports in
the region.

In 1894-95, Japan defeated China,
forcing the following concessions:
• Withdrawal from Korea
• Ceding of Formosa and the
Pescadores to Japan
• Relinquishing Port Arthur in
Manchuria

Congress established a Naval Advisory
Board in 1881, and in 1883, authorized
the building of two European design
cruisers.

The Texas and
Maine provided
a means for U.S.
shipyards to learn
how to build
modern ships.
The requirement
for steel helped
to establish the
American steel
industry.

By the end of the
1880s, American
shipyards were
producing
cruisers, which
compared
favorably with
any foreign navy.

than the Indiana class.

By 1898, with the Spanish-American
war looming, the United States had
a fleet respectable by any measure.

Support Grows for
War with Spain
Yellow journalism in U.S. newspapers,
including publication of a letter stolen
from the Spanish ambassador
describing President McKinley as
“weak,” further whipped up American
feelings in support of war with Spain.
![Page 53: 1.5 The Rise To World Power Status](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103000/5551a1e6b4c9053c488b4b98/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Studies in recent years indicate that
the probable cause of the explosion
was a coal dust explosion in a forward

Because Cuba would be a primary
objective of the war and Puerto Rico
a close second, the bulk of the U.S.
fleet was concentrated in the Atlantic.

Cervera knew his ships and
crews were in a poor state. He
believed that he was sailing
into destruction.
Some European countries
believed Spain would win in a long war.
Alfred Thayer Mahan predicted
that America would win in
“about 3 months.”

The Spaniards’ lack of training, inferior
firepower, and poor ammunition led to
their defeat.

In 1899, Hay drafted
a paper calling for
assurances from
each power that
China would be
open to the trade
of all friendly
nations, a policy
to be known as
the “open door
policy.”Secretary of
State Hay
![Page 150: 1.5 The Rise To World Power Status](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103000/5551a1e6b4c9053c488b4b98/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
Hay’s policy was
not final.
In 1900, to protect
their interests, a
group of Chinese,
called Boxers, led
a campaign to rid
China of foreigners
by force.
This was known as
the Boxer Rebellion.

In the diplomatic crisis that resulted,
the U.S. Joint Board made preparations
– subsequently embodied in the
Orange Plans – for defending the
Philippines from Japanese attack, and
Roosevelt sent the U.S. battleship fleet
around the world, partly to impress the
Japanese with American military power.
