Answer 1

Answer:

1. (1) Economic (2) Military (3) Moral. The primary reason the U.S. expanded its influence in foreign countries: Economic reasons – industrialization in the late 1800s increased the need to trade with other countries.

2. The anti-imperialists opposed the expansion because they believed imperialism violated the credo of republicanism, especially the need for "consent of the governed".

3. Thus, by the mid-1850s, private, economic interests in trading and excavating natural resources became the primary motivation for U.S. movement into the Pacific Ocean.

4. Russia offered to sell Alaska to the United States in 1859, believing the United States would off-set the designs of Russia's greatest rival in the Pacific, Great Britain. ... This purchase ended Russia's presence in North America and ensured U.S. access to the Pacific northern rim.

5. The purchase of Alaska in 1867 marked the end of Russian efforts to expand trade and settlements to the Pacific coast of North America, and became an important step in the United States rise as a great power in the Asia-Pacific region. ... Defeat in the Crimean War further reduced Russian interest in this region.

7. In 1898, the Spanish-American War broke out, and the strategic use of the naval base at Pearl Harbor during the war convinced Congress to approve formal annexation. Two years later, Hawaii was organized into a formal U.S. territory and in 1959 entered the United States as the 50th state.

9. On April 25, 1898 the United States declared war on Spain following the sinking of the Battleship Maine in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898.

11. The Treaty of Paris (1898) officially ended the Spanish-American War. The United States acquired Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines as territories. Cuba technically gained its independence, but United States soldiers remained in the country for years, commonly intervening in the new nation's politics.

12. An open door policy is a communication policy in which a manager, CEO, MD, president or supervisor leaves their office door "open" in order to encourage openness and transparency with the employees of that company.

13. The treaty promises Colombia $10 million plus $250,000 annually for a zone six miles wide. ... The Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty signed, granting the United States a strip of land across the Isthmus of Panama and the right to build and fortify the Panama Canal.

14. Dollar diplomacy, known as "[a] policy aimed at furthering the interests of the United States abroad by encouraging the investment of U.S. capital in foreign countries", was initiated by President William Taft. ... Overall the "dollar diplomacy" was to encourage and protect trade within Latin America and Asia.

What do you believe is the most compelling reason why the Industrial Revolution originated in England? Why

Answers

Answer:

coal

Explanation:

I believe that the biggest and most compelling reason was coal. The English were the ones that discovered that coal burns longer and cleaner than any other current material and began stockpiling in the early 1700s. This stockpile of coal allowed them to explode in growth when the Industrial revolution began in 1760. Mainly because they had all the necessary coal they needed to build and power all of the machinery.
