For which of the following strategic reasons did the united states acquire the midway islands? (3 points) to spread christian and democratic ideals to the citizens living in the south pacific to build naval protection against rivals as the united states increased trade with asia and latin america to increase overseas trade to keep the country's economy strong following a severe depression to slow the spread of asian countries’ influence in the pacific islands i don't know the answer i will try and guess but
