The places that United States took over by 1898 were Alaska, Hawaii, Cuba as a republic under American protectorate, Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam
Explanation:
- The US increased its territory substantially by purchasing Alaska from Russia in 1867.
- Strong US economic development at the end of 19th Century and need for new sources of raw materials and markets strongly influenced the shaping of American foreign expansionist (imperial) policies.
- Among the first victims of such a policy were Hawaii, which the United States annexed in 1898, and in the same year launched a war against Spain.
- Spain had to renounce Cuba (which became a republic under the US protectorate) and the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam (which she gave to the United States with monetary compensation).
