Question

(mc)
which of the following factors caused business owners to support u.s. imperialism?
○ a business owners that established operations in other nations were offered significant tax breaks.
○ b business owners hoped to increase profits by flooding international markets with goods produced in the united states.
○ c business owners wanted to bypass strict u.s. labor regulations by opening factories overseas.
○ d business owners felt that favorable diplomatic policies with other nations would expand markets and access to raw materials.

Explanation:

• Option a: Tax breaks were not the main driving factor for supporting imperialism.
• Option b: Just flooding markets with US - made goods is not the comprehensive reason related to imperialism. Imperialism is more about strategic control and access.
• Option c: Bypassing labor regulations is a more domestic - to - foreign operation shift reason rather than a core imperialism - supporting factor.
• Option d: Favorable diplomatic policies (a form of imperialist influence) would help expand markets (for selling goods) and access to raw materials (for production), which are key economic interests for business owners.

Answer:

d. Business owners felt that favorable diplomatic policies with other nations would expand markets and access to raw materials.
