Good Morning!
The greatest example of Manifest Destiny (belief that the United States was a country destined by God to protect the weak, expand democracy around the world, and secure a force of transformation around the world and especially in America) was the annexation of Hawaii . This region was annexed as one of many (see Alaska) with the express motivation of Manifest Destiny.
It became an imperialist nation as it annexed the Hawaiian Islands.
Hugs!
