Why Are There American Military Bases Around the World? US Military Power: Imperialism

This documentary maps the vast web of American military bases spread across the globe and asks what that network really means. It traces how the United States came to encircle the world with installations on nearly every continent, and how those bases shape local lives and geopolitics. It probes the tension between security, influence and the charge of modern imperialism. Provocative and well argued, it turns a rarely questioned feature of world power into a subject worth examining. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
