The Spanish-American War in 1898 marked a turning point for the United States as it emerged as a global power. Following the war, the U.S. acquired territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines through the Treaty of Paris. This expansion was driven by a desire for new markets, military bases, and a strategic presence in Asia and the Caribbean, leading to an increase in American overseas colonies.

Trade played a crucial role in the establishment of colonies by creating economic incentives for European powers to expand their influence overseas. The demand for valuable resources like spices, precious metals, and agricultural products fueled exploration and the search for new trade routes.
