The islands shown on the map were acquired by the United States to function as trading ports and naval bases, and to increase American influence in the Pacific region.

For example, Hawaii was annexed in 1898 by the United States to strengthen the American strategic presence in the Pacific Ocean. The same happened with Guam and the Philippines, obtained after the victory in the war with Spain.

All these islands were acquired with the intention of strengthening the American presence in the Pacific, through the creation of military bases.

The answer is likely A, as we did not begin to enter hostile relations with Russia until the 1900's, and we would have liked increased control in the Pacific

The world’s population could swell to 10.9 billion by the end of the century, a new United Nations analysis found, raising concerns that adding more than 3 billion people to the planet could further deplete natural resources and accelerate global warming. The increase, up from the current count of 7.7 billion people, is expected despite a continued decline in the global fertility rate, which has fallen from 3.2 births per woman in 1990 to 2.5 births per woman this year. Experts say the global fertility rate will continue to decline, but the world’s overall population will still rise, hitting 9.7 billion by 2050. The new report predicts slower population growth than the U.N.’s last assessment, released in 2017. That estimate projected that the world population would reach a staggering 11.2 billion by the end of the century. The revised figures reflect the downward trend in the global fertility rate, which means the populations of more countries are shrinking.The fastest growth, according to the new report, is most likely to occur in sub-Saharan Africa, which is expected to double its population in the next 30 years.

According to social scientist Edward Hall, allowing someone to move into your Intimate space is a sign of trust.

This refers to the personal feelings which a person have where he is able to entrust something in the care of another in the hopes that it would not be treated in an offhand manner.

With this in mind, we can see that based on the theory of Edward Hall, he believes that allowing someone into your intimate space is a sign of trust and would help foster social interactions and relationships.
