No, it is false that after the Spanish-American War the people of the Philippines were happy to have America replace Spain as a colonial partner, since many in the Philippines wanted full independence.
I believe 1,2,3 are correct.
The direct causes of the American revolution include the following:
1. Colonists rights were restricted.
2. Colonists were not represented in parliament.
3. Colonists did not want England ruling from far away.
4. Colonists were frustrated with high taxation.
All these factors led to the war between the American colonists and the British. Great Britain put in place a lot of policies which did not favored the American colonists, this include the payment of tax which the American colonists violently rejected.
China, with most decision making power concentrated into a few members of the communist party is best described as a Oligarchy. This is the form of governance where most decision making powers lies with a powerful few and the others have to agree and obey the decision made. I hope the answer helps you.
