A free enterprise system is what the USA has, a capitalist country where you can have the freedom for a lot of things to take actions allowed, also allowed to work your for your self. Socialism takes away the freedom where the money and business are owned by the government, if you oppose the government and speak out, you can be punished for death in cerian places like Cuba, Vietnam, Slovakia, Laos, North Korea Russia etc...

The revolutions in Cuba and the Philippines in the 1890's were very important for the US. Both revolutions for freedom were successful, so the Spanish influence was removed. The two newly independent nations though were weak after the revolutions, so with the Spanish out of the way, the US saw an opportunity to easily increase its influence in these territories. The US was quick to act, and it started to infiltrate and sponsor people that were going to work for its cause, resulting in spreading out of their influence in two territories of great strategic importance.
