Question

Why is the Mexican- American War , westward expansion , and the War on Terror (2001 -present , Iraq & Afghanistan) all examples of U.S. imperialism? And why are they not examples or imperialism? Just give a list of reasons (not paragraph).

Answer 1

1-Mexican American War
It was considered westward expansion because it gave the US Texas and Arizona.

2-Afghanistan and Iraq
These show American imperialism because the US didn’t agree with the factions running the country and wanted a democracy in place. They are not examples because it doesn’t show the direct facts and cause of American influence
