Best Answer

The Turner Thesis was written (1893) shortly after it was essentially announced that the frontier had closed (1890). With the frontier closing, it meant that we (America) had expanded as much as it could within its own borders- from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Mexico to Candian border.

Americans are, and have been, a group that want to explore, expand, take-over, etc. We want more land and need to find some; see- Manifest Destiny, Texas, California, etc. Couple that with the fact that we had begun to hit an industrial revolution as Europe's was ending, which meant that we could become a global trade leader and needed more markets and cheaper resources. This led to America want to take over different areas- Hawaii, Cuba, The Philippines, China (Open Door Policy).

1890 was also seeing the increase of Immigration into America, which also played a role in America seeking to expand, as well as the corollary that Roosevelt will soon add to the Monroe Doctrine (and McKinley's actual enforcement of the Doctrine that drove us into the Spanish-America War).
