From 1867 to 1917, the United States expanded its territorial influence significantly through various means, including purchase, annexation, and military intervention. The 1867 purchase of Alaska from Russia marked a significant expansion, while the annexation of Hawaii in 1898 and the acquisition of territories following the Spanish-American War in 1898, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, underscored the U.S. commitment to imperialism. This period also saw increased involvement in Latin America and the Caribbean, exemplified by the construction of the Panama Canal and the implementation of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. Collectively, these actions reflected a shift towards a more aggressive foreign policy and a desire to project American power globally.
