The new U.S. territories of the Philippines and Hawaii provided new strategic and economic opportunities for the United States. They expanded American influence in the Pacific, offering military bases and access to trade routes. Additionally, these territories contributed to the growth of agriculture, particularly sugar and pineApple in Hawaii, which became significant for the U.S. economy.
