Explanation:

Mahan argued the following:

1. Our increasing production demanded we expanded overseas and gain new markets.

2. We must make sure that no nation owns islands within three thousand miles of San Francisco. This meant we had to gain control of Hawaii.

3. A powerful navy must be built.

Alfred Thayer Mahan's writings and America's need to expand to markets abroad resulted in two things:

1. The creation of a large and powerful navy to protect America's interests overseas.

2. The expansion of US economic interests overseas.

America was embarking on a new journey. In the late 1700's George Washington had urged America to "steer clear of foreign affairs." For over a hundred years we had more or less followed that advice but now we would abandon it. America was going to dive head first into competition with other industrialized countries for markets and resources...it was to be the age of imperialism.

Valentin [98]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question has no options, references, or time context, we can say that it refers to the marches of Mexican students in East Los Angeles in the 1960s. By 1967, Racism, bad school conditions, and lack of opportunities for Mexican students in Los Angeles made students organize marches and protest to demand a real change. The school system agreed to hold meetings with students and parents to hear their concerns. The above-mentioned issues came up and the changes that occurred because of the direct actions by the students and families were an open line of communication with school authorities and immunity for the students that had participated in the marches. The Educational Issues Coordinating Committee accepted conversations about education reform, and the students could return to classes.

It really helped that teachers like Sal Castro had supported students such as Moctezuma Esparza and Paola Crisóstomo.
