The question is: Shall we attempt to establish ourselves as a power in the far East and possess the Philippines for glory? . . .

[I]f we take the Philippines . . . they will yield us nothing, and probably be a source of annual expense. Certainly they will be a grievous drain upon revenue if we consider the enormous army and navy which we shall be forced to maintain upon their account. . . .
Whether the United States maintain its present unique position of safety, or forfeit it through acquiring foreign possessions, is to be decided by its action in regard to the Philippines.

Answer:

Among the options given on the question the correct answer is option C.

It will determine the future security of the nation.

Explanation:The war between America and Philippines took place in 1899 to 1902 and the result was the Philippines was taken under control of USA which made the fall of first Philippines Republic. The war arose while Spain decided to hand over Philippines to USA after the short Spanish-American war. However, the invasion of Philippines by America was strongly opposed by many anti imperialist of USA.

Andrew Carnegie was one of them. He said America was never founded on the basis of imperialism. America gained the independence from the British colonization. During the founding of United States there was no policy of imperialism to secure the safety of the nation.

Moreover, Philippines was far away from the United States which can never be an actual territory of USA.So, it would cost a lot of money to maintain the military cost there.  Again the people of Philippine would sought to fight against the US which would risk the safety of the nation.

So, the answer of the question is option C.

Can someone please tell me some history on pineapples??
torisob [31]
The pineapple has served as both a food and a symbol throughout the human history of the Americas. Originally unique to the Western Hemisphere, the fruit was a culinary favorite of the fierce Carib Indians who lived on islands in the sea that still bears their names.The presence of pineapples on Caribbean islands was not a natural event, but rather the result of centuries of Indian migration and commerce. Accomplished dugout canoe navigators, the maritime tribes explored, raided and traded across a vast expanse of tropical oceans, seas and river systems. The herbaceous plant they called "anana," or "excellent fruit," originally evolved in the inland areas of what is now Brazil and Paraguay and was widely transplanted and cultivated. Highly regarded for its intense sweetness, the "excellent fruit" was a staple of Indian feasts and rites related to tribal affirmation. It was also used to produce Indian wine. Hope this helps more
