1-Mexican American War

It was considered westward expansion because it gave the US Texas and Arizona.

2-Afghanistan and Iraq

These show American imperialism because the US didn't agree with the factions running the country and wanted a democracy in place. They are not examples because it doesn't show the direct facts and cause of American influence
