Answer: B. was fueled in part by the need to stimulate American exports

Explanation: Until the 1890s, America was not very interested in expansion. Primarily, expansion did not agree with the republican ideas of America. Expanding into new areas and forcing American rule on them was not republican or American. However, in the 1890s, expansion into new territories was more than imposing leadership but a scramble for an export market for American products. During this decade, America sold about 25% of its agricultural products overseas.
