ANSWER KEY
EXPLANATORY ANSWERS
1. The correct answer is (C). By the Treaty of Paris (1898), which followed the end of the Spanish-
American War, the United States acquired the Philippine Islands from Spain for 20 million dollars.
United States businessmen hoped that acquisition of the Philippines would give the United States a
strategic and economic base in the Far East. Expansionists worried, however, that this aim might be
defeated by Japan and certain European nations that enjoyed spheres of influence in China. In an
effort to ensure that the United States would have access to China, John Hay, President McKinley’s
secretary of state, sent a circular note to several world powers asking that each nation pledge itself to
a principle of commercial equality. This note became known as the Open Door Note. A few months
after the note was sent, the Boxer Rebellion, an armed uprising by anti-foreign Chinese, had to be put
down by a combination of military forces.
