Homework Help: US History

Posted by mysterychicken on Monday, October 25, 2010 at 10:07pm.

Between 1857 and 1903, the US acquired many new territorial possessions around the globe. Why do you think so many of these new possessions were islands located in the Pacific Ocean?

I need help answering this.

Thanks

Is it perhaps because most other areas were already controlled by other countries? The Spanish-American War also played a part in this.
