Throughout the history its been argued whether the United States had been expansionistic oriented or not, due to its limited presence only in the North American continent. In the late nineteenth century, the United States emerged the drive in expanding to the outside of the continent. The idea of imperialism in the Philippines became popular under the parole of protecting the world from Spanish rule, which was just a cover-up for the real reasons for the presence on these islands. This policy caused much controversy among politicians as well as the citizens. There were many reasons behind these imperialistic urges. One of the main reasons is that the United States sought to expand to foreign markets, and needed the Pacific islands as refueling stations for their ships. The other important reason for the expansion was to spread the Christianity among the heathen (Carnes page 576). In addition, the final reason for these imperialistic urges is that the U.S. had the necessity to annex some overseas properties.…

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.…

The United States fought harsh battles against Spain and the Philippines. They lost thousands of men and need compensation. The United States should not give up the islands of the Philippines. It is their reward for winning the war and they have the right to annex it. "We must on no account let the islands go. The American flag is up and it must stay up." With the Philippines, the U.S. would have great benefits. Not only will there be many natural resources, but also the Philippines geographic location will benefit the U.S. in future warfare and trading. The Philippines would provide new markets and cheap labor, which would help the U.S.'s overall economy. But annexing won't just help the U.S. The people of the Philippines would also benefit. The U.S. would establish a democratic society. People would work for wages and the economy would rise. U.S. inventions would be introduced to improve living conditions, such as, plumbing, electricity, and better structured homes. Some of the people of the Philippines may think that this process would be taking advantage of them, but they don't realize that both countries would benefit with the annexation of the…

The majority of rebellions during Tudor England – 1485-1603 – did not carry out their principal objectives and reasons of this can be harshly classified by category in consequence of the weakness in the rebellion, or of the force of the reigning monarch. For example the poor control of a revolt beside the purely localised complaints would not have probably led to a successful rebellion and can be seen like defect of the rebels. On the one hand the stability and the force of the government would also lead to an easy defeat of risings. However, it would not be right to declare that all the rebellions not were successful; friendly Grant of 1525 is an example of retirement of government like direct consequence of revolt. Moreover, it would be simplistic to allege that the military defeat of a rebellion constitutes the revolt like failure automatically.…

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.…

In order to accurately respond to the question of whether or not the American forces in the Philippines after the Spanish-American war and during the Philippine-American war were in fact brutal, we must first look at why the wars started in the first place. The Philippine-American war was sparked from the Spanish-American war. Spain owned the Philippines at the time and the American government wanted to take down the Spanish from all sides and the Filipino government was all too eager to help them. They wanted their independence, so at first there were factions of the military who fought alongside the United States to drive the Spanish out.…

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.…

Reading about the Philippine and South African revolutions in 1989 Democratic Revolutions at the Cold War’s End gave me a lot of insight that I hadn’t had previously. There were some key similarities that I’m going to examine. Including the dictator regime’s they were revolting against, the unique organizations that helped them to be successful, and how one was peaceful in a way that the other one truly was not. Though I think it is important to mention that I believe that South Africa’s revolution was unlike any other during this time and I will give my reasons for believing so.…
