The Caribbean Sea, along with parts of the Pacific Ocean, was targeted in the late 1800s and early 1900s to help out with US naval bases and foreign economic markets. This is evidenced by the U.S. involvement in the Spanish-American War in 1898, which resulted in U.S. control over Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, and the Philippines and Guam in the Pacific.
