This political cartoon shows the different nations that the United States took over, and their effect on each nation. It shows that after the United States "rescued" them, they were far better off. The bottom half also shows the different people in expensive and sophistocated clothes, showing that the US improved their economies and made them more civilized. I think that the artist may have meant this cartoon to be sarcastic, because obviously everything was not perfect in these nations after the United States came into the picture. I would agree with this opinion, because the US was just trying to be a part of what every other major power at the time was doing - gaining land and resources.
