Imperialism Viewed From Abroad:

Having begun a pattern of international involvement, the U.S. discovered that these actions frequently took on a life of their own. In the Caribbean and Central America, for example, the U.S. often had to defend governments that were unpopular with local inhabitants. In Latin America, the cry "Yankee, Go Home!" began to be heard. Even before the Panama Canal was completed in 1914, Panamanians began to complain that they suffered from discrimination.

On the other hand, because the United States was quickly becoming so powerful, other countries-even those fearful about maintaining their independence-began to turn to the United States for help. Both welcomed and rejected, the United States would spend the rest of the century trying to decide the best way to reconcile its growing power and national interests with its relationships with other nations.
