They were General Gage's troops.
The correct answer is:
Latin America and the Caribbean.
Explanation:
President Theodore Roosevelt modified his Monroe Doctrine and added the Roosevelt Corollary after the menace of European debt collectors to go to the Dominican Republic to collect their debt in 1905. The Roosevelt Corollary stated that the United States would act as a police in the continent and intervene to establish order in Latin America and the Caribbean, in order to keep European countries away.
Was there a “back door” to World War II, as some revisionist historians have asserted? According to this view, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, inhibited by the American public’s opposition to direct U.S. involvement in the fighting and determined to save Great Britain from a Nazi victory in Europe, manipulated events in the Pacific in order to provoke a Japanese attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, thereby forcing the United States to enter the war on the side of Britain
For example look at Vietnam. Thousands of Americans lost their lives due fighting down there. When LBJ was president civilian people and soldiers wanted the US out of the war at any cost. Due to him not pulling them out people started to think that the government wasn’t on their side in this matter or didn’t listen.
President Theodore Roosevelt oversaw the realization of a long-term United States goal—a trans-isthmian canal. Throughout the 1800's, American and British leaders and businessmen wanted to ship goods quickly and cheaply between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
