With America’s territory quickly filling up with no room to expand, a new industrial America began looking beyond its own borders to compete with European nations and become a imperial world power.

THE PROGRESSIVE ERA

Industrialization and imperialism changed America with cities crowded with new immigrants, awful working conditions, and failing political systems.  These problems would give rise to the Progressive Movement in which the government became more involved in the lives of Americans.  Throughout this era, social, political and economic issues take center stage in American lives.
