Answer:
It allowed for the U.S. to become more of an imperialist nation and a greater world power.

Step-by-step explanation:

The U.S. became more of an imperialist nation following the Spanish-American War because it added the Philippines, Cuba, and other Latin American countries to be under U.S. control, whether directly or indirectly. This led to the U.S. have more foreign control and therefore, a world power.
