Answer 1

c

Answer 2

Mahan believed that a strong navy was the key to national prosperity, and his ideas were very influential around the world. Most students should be able to tie the Spanish-American War and the subsequent debate over annexing the Philippines to Mahan's ideas on sea power. Students should also view Mahan's theories in the context of industrialization. Improved technology made the world smaller and opened up new markets for trade, but only nations with powerful navies could take advantage of the situation. Students should also mention the modernization of the U.S. Navy during this era.
