In your opinion, do lodge's arguments support the need for the united states to acquire an imperial empire? explain your position.

In my opinion, Henry Cabot Lodge Sr was one of the most prominent imperialists of his time and perhaps American history.

He was a noted conservative who believed that American global expansion, both in North America and elsewhere, will only improve the socio-economic conditions of the occupied people.

He was advocate of intervention in Cuba and voted for the Spanish-American war. He was also a supporter of the United States invasion and occupation of Philippines.
