We helped free Cuba from Spain, after fighting the Spanish-American War we also gained Puerto Rico, Guam and eventually Philippines from Spain.

In a way that those other nations are changing their ways and are beginning to model themselves after the United States. What other nation has the word freedom acting as a synonym, when a foreigner talks about the United States?
