Hi! Thank you for the question, As per the honor code, we are allowed to answer one question at a time from the multiple type of questions so we are answering the first question as you have not mentioned which of these you are looking for. Please re-submit the question separately for remaining parts. The US had started to colonize countries in the nineteenth century when it ended the isolationist policies. The USA had colonized many countries such as the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, etc. The acquisition of the Pacific islands was very important for America from the point of view of trading and military interests. From the trading point of view, the American traders had asked the government to acquire the Pacific islands because they wanted to gain more profits from the China trade. The US wanted to establish its foothold in this region for strengthening its position in the trading and diplomacy in the Pacific region. The military interests of the US were to end the influence of the Spanish empire in this region as the Americans supported the Cubans demand of gaining independence from Spain. The island countries from which the Spanish colonial government was overthrown were then colonized by America such as Cuba, Philippines. Thus the required answer for this question is as given above.
