President William McKinley's policies focused on economic growth and American imperialism. He advocated for protectionist tariffs, notably the Dingley Tariff of 1897, to support American industries. McKinley also led the nation during the Spanish-American War, resulting in the acquisition of territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, which expanded U.S. influence overseas. His administration aimed to foster a strong economy while promoting American interests abroad.
