European nations competing and building large navies to defend their empires.
The resurgence of American naval power in the 1880s was stimulated by increased global competition among nations for colonies and markets, as seen in the growth of European Imperialism. Additionally, the modernization of naval technology, such as the transition from sail to steam-powered ships and advances in weaponry, prompted the United States to strengthen its navy for strategic and defensive purposes. The naval arms race among major world powers during this period also influenced the U.S. to bolster its maritime capabilities.
