Answer:
The answer is A.) the desire to acquire more land in other countries.
Step-by-step explanation:
We didn't want land in other countries. We wanted more international trades to trade with other countries and grow our economy. We wanted to strengthen our weakened alliances with the countries who weren't so sure about the U.S. We wanted to spread Christianity and other religions across the world and show the world and people that the U.S. was a free country that you could come to, to practice and study any religion you wish to.
Hope this helps :))
