    When America first acquired new Islands from Spain they weren't sure what to do with them. Cuba was granted semi-independence, but the Philippines was annexed because giving the Philipines back to Spain, or giving the Phillipines independence was out of the question. The annexation of the Philipines caused tenison in America being some 7,000 miles away. However, the United States should not have annexed the Philipines because Filipinos did not want to be governed by America, and back home Americans were just as unhappy with this.…

    It is a controversial question, but I believe that it was a necessary and wise decision because it freed the Filipinos from the devastating Spanish force. It also benefited to the United States because they opened trade ports for various goods and services and broadened business interests. It also served as a fueling and repair station for U.S. naval vessels and ships. It also contributed to their imperialism, because if they annexed hadn't the Philippines, the countries of Japan, France would have possible seized the islands.…

    For a brief period of time, America became the exact thing it once strived to defeat: an imperialist. The moment the Treaty of Paris was signed on February 6, 1899, America became an imperialist. America was divided on the issue of imperialism. Some said that imperialism was wrong because it was against everything our nation was founded upon. Others saw imperialism as a chance to exploit people and land to earn power and prestige. The following paragraphs will explore America’s experimentation with imperialism in the Philippines.…

In this essay, I will exam three instances of motives used to justify expansion into the Philippines.…

    Pros And Cons Of Stalin

    When the USSR began supplying weapons and ‘volunteers’ to the Spanish Republic during their Civil War, it seemed as if Stalin was coming to the aid of international communism to defeat Franco. However, most modern historians believe this view is too simplistic and that the USSR’s aid was more motivated by the opportunity to advance the needs of their own foreign policy. Stalin attempted to regain support through Spain, which some historians believe was to unite international socialism against fascism although some believe it was to maintain the USSR’s leadership over global socialism. Stalin needed the western democracies on his side to protect the USSR as he was afraid of the Nazis’ Lebensraum. His idea to incorporate the Spanish Republic…

    The theme explored in this section is America in the World. The annexation of the Philippines produced a far more controversial debate than the annexation of Puerto Rico, due to the fact that the Philippines was much farther from the U.S. than Puerto Rico, and seemed much more ominous to Americans. To take control of this territory seemed too aggressive, beyond the limits of what was acceptable for the U.S., for many Americans. President McKinley believed there were no alternatives to annexation, as he viewed Filipinos incapable of self-government. To return the territory to Spain, from his perspective, would be cowardly. The Treaty of Paris formally ended the war with Spain, that confirmed the armistice regarding Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Guam,…

    The irony of the 1898 Spanish-American war was that Americans fought partly to aid Cubans in the fight for Cuban sovereignty, and the United States ended up colonizing some territories they won from Spain, like the Philippines. Despite America’s previous claims of only supporting independence and democracy, the United States became an imperialist power and colonized the Philippines (Introduction to the Spanish-American war and the Filipino insurgency in the assignment sheet). This led to a Filipino insurgency, led by discontent Filipinos, who fought American troops through guerrilla warfare (Conlin 545). Conlin states that many Americans died fighting against a “popular revolution” in the Philippines for independence (Conlin 545). Years ago, Americans were fighting for Cuban independence. During the Filipino insurgency, the United States fought to suppress anger among the Filipinos against American colonization of the Philippines. Americans justified colonizing the Philippines by arguing that Anglo-Saxons were superior to the Filipinos, Filipinos were incapable of sustaining a sovereignty, and a colony in the Philippines would benefit the United States economically.…

    Philippine Genocide

    • 676 Words
    • 3 Pages

    During my elementary years when Philippine History was first introduced to us, it was only the Japanese and the Spaniards who were marked as the terrorists, sadists and brutal conquerors of our country. The Americans on the other hand were introduced to us as more of the saviors who helped our country from achieving freedom and democracy. Growing up, that was my belief or perhaps the beliefs of most Filipinos. But now, as I become more aware of the social happenings in our country and other countries as well, and as I have subjects who go deeper in Philippine History, I have realized that those things told by my past History teachers about the Americans were somehow a bit exaggerated, sugar coated and one sided. I remember learning that the Americans were very nice to us and that they never tortured or took advantage of us. But then again, that was the wrong mentality. In the video that I just saw regarding this reaction paper, they were no better than the Japanese and Spaniards who sadistically tortured and killed a lot of Filipinos, young and old, men and women.…

    After its defeat in the Spanish-American War of 1898, Spain ceded its longstanding colony of the Philippines to the United States in the Treaty of Paris. On February 4, 1899, just two days before the U.S. Senate ratified the treaty, fighting broke out between American forces and Filipino nationalists led by Emilio Aguinaldo who sought independence rather than a change in colonial rulers. The ensuing Philippine-American War lasted three years and resulted in the death of over 4,200 American and over 20,000 Filipino combatants. As many as 200,000 Filipino civilians died from violence, famine, and disease. The decision by U.S. policymakers to annex the Philippines was not without domestic controversy. Americans who advocated annexation evinced a variety of motivations: desire for commercial opportunities in Asia, concern that the Filipinos were incapable of self-rule, and fear that if the United States did not take control of the islands, another power (such as Germany or Japan) might do so. Meanwhile, American opposition to U.S. colonial rule of the Philippines came in many forms, ranging from those who thought it morally wrong for the United States to be engaged in colonialism, to those who feared that annexation might eventually permit the non-white Filipinos to have a role in American national government. Others were wholly unconcerned about the moral or racial implications of imperialism and sought only to oppose the policies of President William McKinley’s administration.…
