American imperialism is caused by the nation's desire to expand its control and influence in locations overseas.
Explanation:
This is accomplished through military, political and even economic prowess. Two main factors that led to American Imperialism were the creation of the United States Navy and the expansion of America's economic interests overseas. American Imperialism began in the 1890s, increased into the early 1900s, and began to slow down after that.
A major cause of the French and Indian war was due to disagreements between the French and the British. They were fighting over land claims and the fur trade.
