• Resumen

  • By the end of the 19 th century, the rise of the United States to world power was an undisputable fact. Within this context, one of the pillars of the American foreign policy became the Open Door Doctrine. The three Republican presidents – William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, and William H. Taft – all implemented this doctrine, which was strategic for the growth of the American trade and investments throughout the world, including the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Italy had to face this situation and, eventually, accepted it, though the Italian government opposed the United States when the Open Door Doctrine seemed to threaten the Italian interests in the colonial world.
