1) The Platt Amendment declared Cuba a U.S. protectorate.
U.S. involvement in Cuba resulted from the U.S. defeat of Spain in the Spanish-American War of 1898. Cuba had to meet a series of conditions in order for U.S. troops to withdraw from Cuba.
2) Monroe Doctrine declared that an act by a European power in the Western Hemisphere would be considered a threat.
Proposed by Monroe in 1823? (check me on this) from lessons learned after the War of 1812 and continued British meddling in North America.
3) Roosevelt's Corollary set up the United States as a Latin American police force.
This was Roosevelt's famous "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick" policy. The world tour of the U.S. Navy's Great White Fleet is also a good example of the Roosevelt Corollary. U.S. troops were sent to various Latin American countries in the early 20th century (Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Haiti, etc.) when U.S. business interests were threatened.
4) Panama Canal reduced time and expense of U.S. global trade by shortening shipping route between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
One of the most important engineering feats of the 20th century.

Although you forgot to attach the options for this question, we can say the following.
Lincoln uses repetition in this sentence to emphasize the idea that "ultimate sacrifice given by the soldiers on this ground."
When United States President Abraham Lincoln repeated the parallel construction he tried to emphasize the ultimate sacrifice given by the Union soldiers and Confederate soldiers on that ground of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
This sentence is part of the famous Gettysburg address delivered by him on November 19, 1863. Previously to that above-mentioned line, Lincoln had said the following: <em>"We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live."</em>
This can serve us to understand the whole idea of the excerpt.
