\i believe our people would welcome any action on the part of the united states to put an end to the terrible state of things existing there (in cuba). we can stop it, in my judgment, by pursuing a proper diplomacy and offering our good offices. let it once be understood that we mean to stop the horrible state of things in cuba and it will be stopped. the great power of the united states, if it is once invoked and uplifted, is capable of greater things than that.\

clear my selection

Explanation:

Henry Cabot Lodge's 1898 statement advocates for U.S. intervention in Cuba, emphasizing the country's great power to impose its will abroad. This aligns with imperialist ideology, which supports extending a nation's power and influence over other territories, often through diplomatic or military means. The other groups do not match: Progressives focused on domestic reform, Industrialists on business interests, and Populists on agrarian and working-class domestic concerns.

Answer:

Imperialists
