Answer 1

"the government benefited from expansion and citizens benefited from an improved economy"

Explanation: For example, after the Spanish–American War the U.S. gained territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines) and increased its global power and markets. Those gains opened new markets and resources, helping U.S. industry and trade and contributing to economic growth and jobs for American citizens.
