The United States announced the Open Door Policy in 1899 primarily to ensure equal trading rights for all nations in China and to prevent any single power from monopolizing Chinese markets. This policy aimed to protect American commercial interests in Asia and promote a stable, open market that would benefit international trade. It was also a strategic response to European Imperialism in China, as the U.S. sought to maintain its influence and prevent the division of China into exclusive spheres of influence.
