    The Spanish have been a monarchy enforcing their laws and customs upon their colonies since the fifteenth century, so the United States should come to the aid of the filipino people by assisting in setting up a democratic government. Recently, America assisted in liberated the island nation of Cuba from spanish rule. The Cubans were tired of the unfair taxation inforced by the Spanish, as well as having no say in the way they are governed. If the Cubans felt this way about the Spanish, the Filipino people have similar feelings about the Spanish rule. The Spanish monarchy is a in complete control of the Philippines and as the proponent of democracy it is the American duty to share this wonderful political gift with nations that are deprived of their natural right to choose how their lands are governed.

    British and Spanish colonies both had the goal of bringing wealth to their respective countries. Spanish colonies were mainly focused on finding precious metal like silver. Their British counterparts focused on cash crops, furs, and timber. The bulk of the resources was then shipped back to their countries and turned into wealth. Inspired by fabulous wealth and adventure more and more people went to these colonies. One could argue that most of the 13 colonies were founded to escape religious persecution. However, England obviously saw this as a chance to get rid of people they did not want and make a large load of cash off them too. This wealth drove people to create colonies.…

    The discovery of a new world by Christopher Columbus in 1492 opened up new opportunities for trading, conquest, and political success and wealth in the later years. Spain and England found their way to the Americas (by crossing the Atlantic, etc.) and established their own colonies, which were able to give their nations profits. In order to have the imperial power of Spain and England benefit from their colonial establishments, the dependent nations would use their surrounding natural resources which would be then used in trading, selling, and building ships, etc. Although both the British and the Spanish colonies existed for the profit and the power of the core nation, the two nations featured different systems of colonial administration.…

When he landed in the America's he thought it was the Indies. As Columbus wrote in his letter to the King and Queen he said " As I know you will be rejoiced at the glorious success that our Lord has given me in my voyage, I write this to tell you how in thirty-three days I sailed to the Indies…" 2 Spain sent Columbus to the Indies to get gold and spices to make their country richer and more powerful. This goes back to the idea of greed, all Spain wanted was Columbus to set sail and make their empire powerful. For example when Columbus landed he found…
