The United States and the Control of the Tropics

"The United States and the Control of the Tropics," written by Benjamin Kidd and first published in 1898, offers a late 19th-century perspective on the role of the United States in governing tropical regions. Kidd explores the social, political, and racial dynamics at play during this period of increasing American influence abroad. He delves into theories of social evolution and the perceived capabilities of different races in adapting to tropical environments and self-governance.
