Some reasons why America became imperialistic were:
-to spread democracy
-to build a strong navy
-to benefit the US economy
How did President Theodore Roosevelt show the imperialism?
-Roosevelt Corollary: An act which added power to the Monroe Doctrine. It basically said that the US could act as an international police. (Also known as the "Big Stick Policy"
-Building of the Panama Canal: The US Navy had a long and dangerous route in order to get from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean (troops had to go from the east coast to around the bottom tip of South America and then around again to the west coast). To solve the problem, Roosevelt found it appropriate to build a canal in the land that was then part of Columbia. Columbia agreed to grant America the land, but at the last minute backed out of their deal. Outraged, Roosevelt convinced the independence-seeking Panamanians to revolt against Colombia; they eventually gained there independence and were quick to grant the US the land to build the Panama Canal.
yes! Imperialism

Expansion and the creation of new markets are some of the most important goals of the Imperialism. They also wanted to make Christianity stronger.
A need for cheap labor, Economic competition w/ nations & political/military competition with other nations spurred US imperialism
