U.S. naval expenditures rose between 1890 and 1905 primarily due to the increasing emphasis on Imperialism and the desire to project American power globally. The Spanish-American War in 1898 highlighted the need for a modern navy to protect American interests and territories. Additionally, the influence of naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan, who advocated for a strong navy to compete with European powers, further fueled calls for military modernization and expansion. As a result, significant investments were made in shipbuilding and naval infrastructure during this period.
In his book "The Influence of Sea Power Upon History" (1890), Alfred T. Mahan argued that a nation's strength and success in global affairs were heavily dependent on its naval power. He emphasized the importance of a strong merchant fleet, naval bases, and control of key maritime chokepoints to project power and protect national interests. Mahan's ideas significantly influenced naval strategies and policies, particularly in the United States and other emerging naval powers, shaping the geopolitical landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
