1) The Platt Amendment declared Cuba a U.S. protectorate.
U.S. involvement in Cuba resulted from the U.S. defeat of Spain in the Spanish-American War of 1898. Cuba had to meet a series of conditions in order for U.S. troops to withdraw from Cuba.
2) Monroe Doctrine declared that an act by a European power in the Western Hemisphere would be considered a threat.
Proposed by Monroe in 1823? (check me on this) from lessons learned after the War of 1812 and continued British meddling in North America.
3) Roosevelt's Corollary set up the United States as a Latin American police force.
This was Roosevelt's famous "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick" policy. The world tour of the U.S. Navy's Great White Fleet is also a good example of the Roosevelt Corollary. U.S. troops were sent to various Latin American countries in the early 20th century (Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Haiti, etc.) when U.S. business interests were threatened.
4) Panama Canal reduced time and expense of U.S. global trade by shortening shipping route between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
One of the most important engineering feats of the 20th century.
Hey Gardneun!
In their plantations in Brazil, the Portuguese chose to grow sugarcane as it was appropriate for the climate and it was practical and efficient for the slave work. It was also a good and required item in the slave cycle (that went from Europe to Africa, Africa to South America, South America to Europe).

Explanation:
Egyptians widely believed in afterlife and that when you die, you wouldbring your body and possessions into the afterlife to live happily if you were seen as a good person. Many kings and queens were seen as gods and godesses. So they'd have huge tombs (the pyramids) and would have their body perserved very well (mummies). The egyptians believed in everyone having Ka, which was spiritaul. When the physical body died off, the Ka would live in the afterlife forever. The pyramids (their tombs) could help them reign in the afterlife as Ka.
