How The U.S. Kicked The British Empire Out of America to Protect Venezuela

Gold, War, and The Monroe Doctrine: The 1895 Crisis That Changed History. In 1895, the United States and Great Britain stood on the brink of war. The cause? A dispute over gold mines in the Venezuelan jungle. But this wasn't just about a border; it was the moment the global balance of power shifted forever. We are often taught that the British Empire was the undisputed superpower of the 19th century. But in 1895, President Grover Cleveland and his Secretary of State, Richard Olney, called Britain's bluff. When the British tried to expand their colony of British Guiana (now Guyana) into Venezuelan territory following a massive gold discovery, the U.S. intervened with a threat so aggressive it became known as the "Twenty-Inch Gun" Note. The message was simple: The United States is "practically sovereign" in the Americas, and Britain must submit to arbitration or face war. This Episode explores the forgotten "Venezuela Crisis," where President Grover Cleveland threatened to fight the British Empire if they didn't respect the Monroe Doctrine. Discover why the most powerful empire on earth, realizing it was financially overstretched and facing a rising industrial giant, chose to "blink." This was the end of the British Century and the beginning of the American Century—a humiliating climbdown that birthed the "Special Relationship."
