During the late 1800s and early 1900s, some Americans supported a policy of imperialism. Which of the following statements supports imperialism? "America believes in freedom and independence for all peoples of the world." "America should follow George Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality." "America should acquire new sources of natural resources." "America should join a world organization such as the United Nations."
"America should acquire new sources of natural resources."
Imperialism is the idea of extending authority over foreign nations, usually for political and economic gain. Feeling the need to get new sources of natural resources makes sense in terms of going overseas to acquire economic power. Therefore this statement is the one that supports imperialism.
