Flag Raising

Though the United States is frequently described as “isolationist” in the years leading up to World War I, military forces participated in a number of international actions intended to protect American lives and interests, particularly around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. This image, created in 1913 and used through World War I for United States Marine Corps recruiting, shows forces in action in a tropical location.
