Describe three areas in which the United States experienced enormous growth in the late 1800s.

Some factors that spurred industrial growth in the late 1800's are Abundant natural resources (coal, iron, oil); Abundant labor supply; Railroads; Labor saving technological advances (new patents) and Pro-Business government policies.

By the end of the Second World War, the United States had come to consider the Middle East region as "the most strategically important area of the world." ... For that reason, it was not until around the period of World War II that America became directly involved in the Middle East region.

Explanation:

NATO's strategic planning cannot count upon use of Middle Eastern oil in another war and Western Europe--with United States help-- can probably fight without it. ... The other factors that give the Middle East its vast importance are too well known to need elaboration. The area is a highly important communications hub.
