Do the Filipino people owe the United States anything for helping them gain independence from Spain

1 answer:

3 0

Following the Spanish American War in 1898 the Philippines sought to declare its own independence when the Spanish were defeated. However, this was not successful and the Philippines fought a war with U.S. forces over self determination. The Philippines lost the war and it was not until the end of WWII in 1946 that through the Treaty of Manila the United States granted the Philippines independence. Therefore, the U.S. helped end Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines but also then effectively ruled the Philippines for close to 5 decades until the Philippines achieved independence, making this claim arguably false.

True [87]

Answer:

Roosevelt believed in projecting American power. He sent the Great White Fleet on a worldwide tour to show off the modernized American navy and to state American interests in the Pacific. Roosevelt supported Panamanian independence in order to create the Panama canal. He signed the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine which gave the United States the right to intervene in Latin America. Roosevelt also arbitrated in the Russo-Japanese War, an act which won a Nobel Peace Prize. At the onset of WWI, Roosevelt argued for immediate American intervention on the side of the Allies and even offered to lead a division of American soldiers in the conflict. Roosevelt believed that the United States had a duty to project power and its way of life abroad in order to cultivate both manly virtue at home and American values abroad.
