Following expansionist efforts in Hawaii, Americans were eager to further expand; however, the powerful imperial nations of Europe had already claimed most of the land around the globe. Nevertheless, the United States growing in industrial and military might, realized another opportunity to acquire land was by taking land already held by other empires. It was also an opportunity to enforce the Monroe Doctrine that had been basically ignored for years.
