Question

during the late 19th century (late 1800s), how did the growth of capitalism (our economy) encourage united states imperialism?
durante finales del siglo xix, ¿cómo fomentó el crecimiento del capitalismo (nuestra economía) el imperialismo de estados unidos?

the united states wanted to industrialize underdeveloped nations
the united states needed to compete with foreign nations for more workers for our factories
the united states wanted to provide humanitarian aid to poor nations
the united states needed to obtain new markets for american products

Explanation:

By the late 1800s, U.S. industrial capitalism led to overproduction of goods. Domestic markets became saturated, so U.S. businesses and policymakers pushed for imperial expansion to access new, untapped markets to sell American products. The other options do not align with the core economic motives driving this era of U.S. imperialism: industrializing other nations was not a primary goal, competition for workers was not a driver, and humanitarian aid was a superficial justification, not a real incentive.

Answer:

The United States needed to obtain new markets for American products
