American principles traditionally opposed colonization.

Arely Patrick · Answer 2

The Correct Answer is D.

Explanation:

After the Spanish-American War several prominent United States citizens, especially Intellectuals opposed the American imperialist policies. Imperialism in America is targeted to attain influence in different nations by using its Armed forces. This is almost similar to the Ancient form of colonization, it just has different words which has used to describe it. Because of this, the Imperialism of the United States is not suitable for the traditional American principle.
