After the war of 1898, the U.S. had new territories that would support new areas of commerce. Hawaii, for example, was annexed in this context and served to protect American ships that started to continuously pass by. Puerto Rico and Cuba gave access to Latin America markets. Hawaii, Guam, and Philippines opened access to China.
