what were some of the major highlights of the establishment of an American empire in the Pacific in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century?
 
Conquest of the Philippines
Annexation of Hawaii
Naval ports in Samoa
Open Door Policy in China
Poor relations with Japan
Great White Fleet
 
The Americans never had an empire. They never have and never will. If you are referring to places like Hawaii - they are states.

They only ever had naval, airforce and army bases on islands. The USA has always been against colonialisation.
