Respuesta :

I am guessing this is multiple choice, if not, I believe the answer would be Imperialism. The definition of Imperialism means: a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force. Though the United States did not use military force directly against those islands, we got that land fighting with the Spanish (which is using military force.)

So in short, the answer is Imperialism.

The United States' acquisition of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii are all examples Imperialism.

Further Explanations:

Imperialism explains the strategy of extending the realm's rule over overseas nations either by dogmatic alliance or military alliance. It aimed only at nations' territorial expansion. The strategy was a prevalent conquest concept extensively adopted by many nations as per the history. Imperialism means annexation either it is “New Imperialism” or “Old Imperialism”. In present days it is outlawed as per the International law and is considered as the international propaganda to criticize other nations' foreign policy.

United States' attainment of the Puerto Rico, Philippines, and Hawaii are all cases of Imperialism. United States had always aimed at extending its political and cultural extent to the nations nearby. Depending upon the situation it included them either by Military conquest or Gunboat democracy. United nation also preferred subsidization and unequal treaties and policies to continue its imperialism. United Sates never accepted that its policies are part of Imperialism, though it was also blamed for its neocolonialism policy or modern form of hegemony.
