<span>US gained territory in the Pacific Ocean.

The Spanish-American War is the beginning of the imperial era in US history gaining their first territories from the war.

The US gained Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from the Spanish-American War and soon after completed the annexation of Hawaii. With colonies in the Pacific and trade connections growing in Asia, the US needed a quick way to move resources and ships from the East coast to these new areas. The canal through Panama made the naval commute shorter and faster as well as safer.</span><span />

What is a potential negative effect of an expansionary policy?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Increased Inflation.,

Cutting interest rates isn’t guaranteed to cause a strong economic recovery. Expansionary monetary policy may fail under certain conditions.

If confidence is very low, then people may not want to invest or spend, despite lower interest rates.

In a credit crunch, banks may not have funds to lend, therefore although the Central Bank cuts base rates, it is still difficult to get a loan from a bank.

Commercial banks may not pass the base rate cut on.
