Answer 1

The reason the United States acquired the Midway Islands was to build naval protection against rivals as the United States increased trade with Asia and Latin America.

The Midway Islands:

• Were the first territories in the Pacific that the U.S. acquired.
• Came under the administration of the U.S. Navy.

With the U.S. Navy controlling the islands, we can therefore say that the U.S. acquired the islands as a means of navy protection for American trade in Asia and related areas.

In conclusion, option B is correct.
