The United States fits into the context of global imperialism through its historical expansionist policies and interventions, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The U.S. engaged in territorial acquisitions such as the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam following the Spanish-American War, reflecting a desire to exert influence over strategic regions. Additionally, U.S. economic and military interventions in Latin America and other parts of the world have often aimed to protect its interests and promote political systems favorable to its values. This pattern of influence demonstrates a complex relationship with imperialism, characterized by both direct control and indirect influence.

yes! Imperialism
There is no reason for imperialism other than greed and fear. Since the US never really had to fear any country after the War of 1812 I would have to say fear was not a reason for imperialism!

Andrew Carnegie was a prominent industrialist and philanthropist whose views on U.S. imperialism were complex. While he initially supported American expansionism, particularly in the context of economic interests, he later became a vocal critic of imperialism, arguing that it contradicted American democratic ideals. Carnegie's involvement in imperialism is also reflected in his efforts to promote peace and his opposition to the annexation of territories like the Philippines, believing that imperialism undermined the nation's values. Ultimately, his legacy is intertwined with both the era's expansionist policies and the push for peace and international cooperation.
