I want to say C because of the ship ports
Hello,
As the war approached, it got worse for farmer... The United States responded. First, the U.S. decided to send its destroyers to hunt the U-Boats and keep shipping lanes open. Hormel had introduced the canned meat product Spam in the 1930s. It proved to be an ideal combat ration because it could be shipped easily and wouldn't spoil for long periods of time. Soldiers could fight only as long as they had food to fuel their bodies. So, farmers were exhorted to produce even more.
<span>~no country could prosper without a large fleet of ships engaged in international trade, protected by oversea navy bases
~was urged to take Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Cuba
~the depression increases the belief that a more aggressive foreign policy was necessary to stimulate American exports
~fierce nationalism was formed and reinforced by the "yellow press"
hope it helps :)
