The United States emerged as a great industrial power following World War I -- the most powerful nation in the world, in fact.
The growth of the United States as the world's leader in industry had been proceeding rapidly already prior to the Great War (which we know as World War I). By 1900, 38% of the world's wealth was held by the United States. By 1914, the US produced as much coal as Britain and Germany combined, as well as producing over 40% of the world's iron.

On the continental expansion, Americans pushed Native Americans off their land making deals with them that favored the US more than the tribes. After that, Americans pushed their ideas to the areas being developed trying to make Native Americans abandon their own culture.
On the expansionism overseas the US returned the land to its original inhabitants, this happened in Cuba for example. This was the main difference between expansionism inside and outside the US.
The taking of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines was a violation of fundamental American ideals of self-government and democracy, this was actually the main argument of Anti-Imperialists. Once the US had claimed the territory they established their own rule and define role/impact in each respective country.
