Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By the early twentieth century, the United States had become the dominant foreign power in the Caribbean, due to its economic and political interests in the region. The U.S. had intervened in several Caribbean countries, such as Cuba and Haiti, and had taken control of Puerto Rico and the Spanish colonies of Guam and the Philippines after the Spanish-American War. Britain, Spain, and France had previously been dominant colonial powers in the Caribbean, but by the early twentieth century, their influence had declined. Russia did not have significant involvement in the Caribbean at this time.
