Prohibition increased corruption in the United States during the early 1900's.
Prohibition was a period in which the sale and distribution of alcohol was illegal in the United States. This was done through a constitutional ban on production and sale of alcohol. It was outlawed but this did not prevent people from wanting to consume it. When there is demand for a good, even if it is outlawed, there will be supply.
People started to trade alcohol and since it was an illegal activity it gave big profits to those risking doing it and violence between trading groups started, just like with any other illegal activity. Gang groups started to compete for territory control over alcohol trading and this widespred in the country specially in big cities like Chicago with criminals such as Al Capone.
Corruption was a natural effect of this alcohol ban, since these criminal groups used bribes and corruption tactics to keep their illegal business running.

Mexican American War
Spanish American War
Explanation:
The Mexican American War was fought over land disputes in Texas between the U.S. and Mexico. Specifically whether or not Texas extended to the Rio Grande River. Eventually, it was war and the U.S. was the victor. Not only did they take the Rio Grande River, but they also took New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, Texas, and western Colorado. This was a war entirely over land and with America emerging victorious our country was expanded by a third.
The Spanish American War began with Cuba revolting against Spain. America wanted to intervene for Cuba's side so when the USS Maine exploded the U.S. pinned the blame on Spain. America declared war and won. Cuba was given its Independence but, Guam, The Philipines, and Puerto Rico were all added to America's ever-growing landmass.
These two examples show how the U.S. used military force to take more land for themselves which in itself is imperialist.
