Industrialism had changed the United States. Americans began to view their nation with increasing nationalism. The spirit if expansion and imperialism was fueled by these feelings. For one hundred years America had taken a back seat to the traditional European powers, that many American felt, should change.

In order for America to take its rightful place amongst the worlds power many felt we needed to control a vast imperial empire. This empire would provide a market for our goods, raw materials for our factories and protection for our commercial interests. The expansion was, as previously discussed, justified by the need for our people to expand commercially and the social Darwinist idea of the white man's burden. With this need in mind eyes turned towards Spain. Spain, a once mighty empire, still with vast colonial holdings many of them in our Caribbean backyard, was now a much weaker nation than us. They were ripe for the picking and a their imperial holdings would be the spoils of victory.

strojnjashka [21]

The correct answer is - 2.) Communist governments under Soviet control.

The Soviet Union, just like the United States, during the Cold War period tried to have as many allies as possible in order to have stronger support and protect its interests. Eastern Europe was a region that was almost totally under the control of the Soviets, apart from Yugoslavia which was strong on its own and didn't wanted to be submissive to other country.

The Soviets sponsored Communist governments and gave them a lot of support, be it financial, propaganda, or even military one if there were problems in the country. That led to almost all of the Eastern European nations having governments that were under the influence and control of the Soviets, making them a satellite countries to the Soviet Union.
