Respuesta :

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The reason behind America's venture into the world and intervening in China, Latin America, and other places in the first half of the twentieth century was to protect and secure its economic interest.

The United States has been in a regular commerce trade with China and Asiatic countries. When the United States saw that other powers such as Japan, Russia, Great Britain, German, Italy, and France were trying tobring China under its influence, America developed an Open Door Policy. Under this policy, America gave an invitation to other Western powers to have equal access to trade with China. Latin America, China, and many other nations were seen as an opportunity to secure American economic interest.

Therefore, option C is correct.
