Answer:
Mahan argued that a strong navy would allow the United States to expand beyond its borders and become a world power.
As a result we began to seek out foreign markets. There was a widely-held belief that the U.S. needed ships, not to make war, but to protect its rights and prestige (nationalistic pride). Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914) was a naval strategist, historian, and leading advocate of a powerful U.S. Navy.
