Crusader Nation: The United States in Peace and the Great War, 1898–1920 by David Traxel examines how the United States’ entry onto the world stage at the turn of the twentieth century was shaped by a powerful sense of moral mission. Covering the period from the Spanish–American War through the First World War, Traxel traces the rise of American interventionism, the influence of progressive reform ideals, and the belief that the nation had a duty to spread democracy and order abroad. He shows how domestic politics, religious conviction, and cultural confidence combined to justify expansion and war, even as they generated internal conflict and disillusionment. The book presents America’s role in this era as a defining moment when idealism and power became tightly intertwined in U.S. foreign policy.
