The U.S. was imperialistic by taking control and  buying a country after a war.
An example is the Spanish-American war which was an attempt of the U.S. to help Cuba win independence from Spain. The U.S. first became interested the territory in 1860 when the Suez Canal opened and made the Philippines more open for trade with Europe. The Spanish fleet was located in the Philippines at this time and much of it was destroyed in the war. The Treaty of Paris 1898 allowed the U.S. control of the Philippines for $20 million.
