To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The effect of this war upon the canal question was most marked. In the first place, the enforced trip of the Oregon around the Horn served as an object lesson of the urgent need of more adequate means of interoceanic communication, and convinced everyone of the necessity of constructing an isth- mus canal. In the second place, the acquisition of dependen- cies in the Pacific and the consequent entry of the United States into the commerce and politics of the Orient impressed upon the nation the ...importance of maintaining political su- premacy along the sea route thither. This involved the hold- ing of strategic points along the line and above all the exclusive control of the isthmus canal. Thus as one of the results of the Spanish- American war the canal question again came up for decision, and the Clayton- Bulwer treaty was once more, and for the last time, made the subject of discussion. Fortunately for the United States, England had also learned some lessons from the war; she appreciated now, what she had failed to appreciate before, that the United States was bound to become a world power, and that her claim to the control of her continental base was justified in fact as well as in theory.
