The US was extremely involved in foreign affairs after the Spanish American War. This victory in helping liberate Cuba from Spanish control resulted in the creation of the "American empire." Thanks to this war, the US gained control of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. These newly acquired territories were excellent places to send American goods, as businesses were producing more goods than ever thanks to the rapid industrialization taking place in American society.
The US continued to spread its power and influence by annexing other places, like Hawaii. Along with this, the US desired consistent trade with other countries, hence why they introduced the idea of the Open Door Policy in China.
When it came to the US, we wanted to continue our economic relations with several different countries. However, we did not want to initially get involved in overseas wars, as many Americans felt they were an expensive waste of time. This changed after events like the sinking of the Lusitania and the decoding of the Zimmerman Telegram. This resulted in the US joining World War I and helping the Allied powers achieve victory.

Because of colonialism and international influences within African territory, culture has become somewhat diversified, influenced and with distant and modified concepts from the region's ancestral culture. All of this has generated such a strong cultural diversity in the environment that few things are seen and done by the ancestors of the African people. With the passage of time and American influences on the continent, African culture has become increasingly American, which makes us claim that African cultural values are only illusions.
This tends to worsen with the influence of Western countries in Africa, which causes native Africans to increasingly abandon their roots and adopt different and distant values. This is very damaging to a nation, which loses what makes it unique and special.
For this reason, it is important for African families to research and encourage the implementation of ancestral and pure African values, practices and concepts, returning to their roots and keeping their culture alive, influential and admired by themselves, their descendants and the world. Thus making the culture alive through the centuries.
