The Manifest Destiny of the United States fundamentally changed the landscape of the map on a global basis. Westward expansion was one of the foundation blocks which transformed the United States from a small regional fledgling nation, into the undisputed leading power of the world. In the book The American West: Transnational and Comparative Perspectives (Open Access) author Jane Lahti provides a new and insightful look into this pivotal time in American history, and applies that history in terms of global ramifications, and lasting effects. The American West and the World was released on September 21, 2018, and published by Routledge Book Publishers.
