question 1.8
what was the goal of president theodore roosevelts voyage of the great white fleet?
establish overseas fueling stations for the united states navy
increase military spending to establish an open door policy with china
demonstrate the united states ability to defend its international interests
repair united states international reputation following the philippine rebellion

Explanation:

The Great White Fleet was a group of U.S. Navy battleships sent on a world tour by President Theodore Roosevelt. The main goal was to show the U.S.'s naval power and its ability to defend its international interests. Establishing fueling stations was not the main goal. The Open - Door Policy with China was about trade and not directly related to the fleet's voyage. The Philippine Rebellion was over by 1902, and the fleet's voyage (1907 - 1909) was not mainly about repairing reputation from that. Increasing military spending was not the goal of the voyage itself.

Answer:

demonstrate the United States' ability to defend its international interests
