Question

Which of the following does NOT described the period of American imperialism?
A.
a period of nonaggressive American diplomacy and isolation
B.
a period of increasing American political and economic influence
C.
a period in which America sought a global empire to rival the empires of nations such as Great Britain
D.
a period in which America acquired territory overseas

Answer 1

Imperialism is basically "go out and conquer lands for us". Nonaggression and isolation is kind of counter to that idea. So...which one do you think would fit?

Answer 2

@Surana is wrong

Answer 3

Definition of imperialism: a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force.
SO, it is the act of a country conquering other countries lands, but using force.
D could not be right since it is a period where America somehow acquires territory. C could not be right, what would America be doing with that power? B is basically the same. A seems most logical, the key word being "nonaggressive".

Answer 4

Julianne, I was pointing exactly to where I was directing them to because Nonaggression and Isolationism is the exact opposite of Imperialism. So I'm not wrong, actually.

Answer 5

yea you are @Surana

Answer 6

No. Let me explain further. Nonaggression Isolationism does not describe Imperialism. So When I pointed to A, I was correct.
