- After the issue of the Monroe Doctrine in 1823, the United States realized that they needed to get stronger if they were to keep up with the powerful nations of Europe. The United States decided that they needed to colonize weaker nations and territories in order to obtain more land, resources for factories, markets for their finished goods, and new areas to live for their growing population.
- In the second half of the 1800s, America and European Nations created Spheres of Influence in the country of China. As the Imperial Powers took advantage of China, hundreds of thousands of Chinese joined a group known as the Boxers to try to fight back against them. The Boxer Rebellion of 1900 was an attempt by the Chinese to reclaim their country. The Imperial Powers won because of their advanced weapons and navy.
- After the events of the Spanish-American War and the Open Door Policy in China, the rest of the world quickly realized that the United States had become a global superpower. The United States now had colonies all over the world, one of the most powerful navies, and they were able to act as a "policeman" for the Western Hemisphere.
