The long trial has proved that the object for which Spain has waged the war cannot be attained. The fire of insurrection may flame or may smolder with

varying seasons, but it has not been, and it is plain that it cannot be, extinguished by present methods. The only hope of relief and repose from a condition
which can no longer be endured is the enforced pacification of Cuba. In the name of humanity, in the name of civilization, in behalf of endangered American
interests which give us the right and the duty to speak and to act, the war in Cuba must stop. In view of these facts and of these considerations, I ask the
Congress to authorize and empower the President to take measures to secure a full and final termination of hostilities between the government of Spain and
the people of Cuba, and to secure in the island the establishment of a stable government, capable of maintaining order and observing its international
obligations, insuring peace and tranquillity and the security of its citizens as well as our own, and to use the military and naval forces of the United States as
may be necessary for these purposes."-President William McKinley, 1898
The United States retreated from the position in world affairs established by McKinley by implementing
O the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine
O Wilson's intervention in the Mexican Revolution
O isolationist policies during the Harding and Coolidge administrations
O Franklin Roosevelt's Good Neighbor policy in Latin America

Answer:

This passage is from President William McKinley's message to Congress on April 11, 1898, asking for authority to intervene in Cuba. It reflects the prevailing sentiment in the United States at the time that the ongoing war in Cuba, which began in 1895, was causing undue hardship and instability, and that intervention was necessary to restore peace and order. The message also emphasizes the humanitarian and moral justifications for intervention, as well as the importance of protecting American interests. The passage ultimately led to the passage of the Teller Amendment, which declared that the United States had no intention of annexing Cuba, and the authorization for the Spanish-American War.
