Before 1898, Spain had had the colony of the Philippines for a long time. However, after the Spanish-American war, it gave that colony over to the United States, which caused it to get politically involved with the Philippines.
Therefore, the answer would be the Spanish-American War.
Opportunity cost is the profit lost when one alternative is selected over another. ... Opportunity cost does not necessarily involve money. It can also refer to alternative uses of time. For example, do you spend 20 hours learning a new skill, or 20 hours reading a book?
Voting and serving in the military are voluntary personal responsibilities or rights in the United States. The United States has a voluntary military and therefore it is not required that citizens join or work in the military unless they voluntarily choose to do so. In addition, it is not compulsory that citizens vote and instead it is something that they voluntarily decide to do.
C. Widespread greed and corruption.
The term Gilded Age referred to the glitz and glamour of the time period but also indicated only a few had access to the money of the time. Many came to America for the "streets paved in gold" but rather found they were paved in horse feces and filth. The upper class were beyond wealthy and used unfair methods to gain that wealth.
Absolute chaos is what we would define as anarchy; it is essentially the reverse of order. What makes an anarchy worse would be the shocking lack of a robust legal system because there can be no laws in a society built on complete chaos, but if you're talking about a government based on anarchy, it would be a system where there is no state identity and no real central government. Somalia, to some extent, serves as the most prevalent illustration of why a government founded on anarchy is a horrible concept. Although there is a central government, its power over its territory varies. Certain sections are under the influence of the militant group Al Shabab, and the Somaliland region is attempting to declare its independence from the federal government. The country is rife with a milder but no less deadly type of anarchy due to the absence of a strong central leadership.
Anarchic societies where every individual is equally empowered are unsustainable. The individuals quickly cluster into tribal units, and without some overriding authority, it’s impossible to stop that from happening. The tribal units (or gangs, if you prefer) are run by warlords who keep each other in check until one of them gains a decisive advantage over the others, and then you’ve got the beginnings of a state.
This drama has played out countless times in the course of human history, and is still playing out in the criminal underworld to the extent that it can. That extent is limited by the fact that now there is an overriding authority with enforceable power, the legitimate state.
