Before answering, let us first establish what these "4 Olds" are. The "4 Olds" that we are talking about here are China's Old Ideas, Old Customs, Old Culture, and Old Habits. Mao Zhe Dong, the founding father of the People's Republic of China, was the one that led into the annihilating of the "4 Olds" of China. This is in response to what was currently happening at that time. There was a Russian revolution which began failing and became one of the reasons that led to the destroying of the "4 Olds". Urban Stratification was also feared to come up. And this way, elitism would be demolished. Some would say that Mao wanted to secure his own place in history which pushed the decision on destorying the "4 Olds".
The westward expansion era in the United States was one of great importance, as it helped to create the shape of the United States today. One of the reasons acquiring land was important was because it would help to complete America's manifest destiny. Manifest destiny is a term that states that it was America's god- given right to control all land from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This belief that it was supposed to be America's land caused them to buy land (like the Louisiana Purchase from the French and Florida from Spain) and even fight for it (Mexican-American War- results in US getting Arizona, California, Utah, etc.).
Besides completing America's manifest destiny, acquiring this land allowed the US to gain significant natural resources. A perfect example would be in California. After gaining California from Mexico, gold was found. This lead to the California Gold Rush of 1849. Finding this valuable commodity lead to a huge increase in the population of California and it gave the American economy a boost.
The country of Bolivia was named in his honor and Bolivar wrote that countries constitution. Bolivar was called "the liberator" in South America. He became a dictator and wanted to establish one large country called Gran Colombia. This country would have covered the entire northern part of South America.
