The second statement is true: "It created competition for U.S. workers, and it led to low wages and poor working conditions for the people of the new territories."
Historically, U.S. imperialism often resulted in economic exploitation of new territories, leading to poor working conditions and low wages for their inhabitants, who were sometimes seen as competition for jobs in the U.S. The first statement is misleading, as imperialism often resulted in conflict rather than peace with both other countries and the peoples of colonized territories.
