(BRAINLIEST QUESTION) Why did President Theodore Roosevelt feel that building the Panama Canal had become a military necessity f

or the United States?
Relations between the United States and Mexico had deteriorated and a canal would allow the US Navy to enforce a blockade of Mexico

The Panama Canal could be fortified and used as a defense against an invasion from South America into Central America.

The US acquisition of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico meant the US Navy would need to defend territories in both oceans.

There were no shipyards on the west coast of the United States, so the canal was needed to move warships to the Pacific Ocean.

Answer: The US acquisition of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico meant the US Navy would need to defend territories in both oceans.

Explanation:

The United States was a huge country with coastlines on both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans and then as a result of the Spanish American war, gained territories in the Pacific being Guam, Philippians and Hawaii as well as Puerto Rico in the Atlantic.

The US therefore needed a way to move their military resources from one coast to the other to defend these territories, coastlines and exert American control over both oceans. The solution was the Panama canal and so the US built it through <em>Gun-boat diplomacy</em>.

This type of advertising is called Testimonial and it's using the technique known as Celebrity Endorsement. In testimonial advertising the message is saying "this person says this product/politician is good", and the celebrity endorsement refers to the link between the product and the famous person. This technique is mainly used in sports, when famous athletes only wear one type of brand, they are telling you "this product is good because this famous person always uses it".

Relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. The distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the Cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

The United States government was initially hostile to the Soviet leaders for taking Russia out of World War I and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. Although the United States embarked on a famine relief program in the Soviet Union in the early 1920s and American businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the New Economic Policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. By that time, the totalitarian nature of Joseph Stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the West. Although World War II brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward Eastern Europe had created tensions even before the war ended.

The Soviet Union and the United States stayed far apart during the next three decades of superpower conflict and the nuclear and missile arms race. Beginning in the early 1970s, the Soviet regime proclaimed a policy of détente and sought increased economic cooperation and disarmament negotiations with the West. However, the Soviet stance on human rights and its invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 created new tensions between the two countries. These tensions continued to exist until the dramatic democratic changes of 1989–91 led to the collapse during this past year of the Communist system and opened the way for an unprecedented new friendship between the United States and Russia, as well as the other new nations of the former Soviet Union.
