(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>.

The correct answer is B. The declaration of Independence was signed

Explanation

The first event refers to the year 1774 when the British Parliament of the United States issued the "intolerable laws" in response to the various uprisings of the American settlers. The second event refers to the first continental congress held in September 1774, in which representatives of the 13 colonies (except Georgia) met in Philadelphia seeking to mediate with the British crown so that it did not interfere in all the affairs of the nation. The third event refers to the first confrontations of the war of independence in April 1775, during which the confrontation between the royalty and the American colonists became more aggressive and independence was the only way out for the colonists. The fourth event refers to the second continental congress of the American colonists that took place in May 1775 and in which they organized their military affairs to better manage the war of independence that had already begun. Finally, the last act was the declaration of independence and its was on July 4, 1776 when the colonists finally defeated the British militarily, achieving their independence. According to the above, the correct answer is B. The declaration of Independence was signed
