After fighting with Spain in Cuba in ...

    After fighting with Spain in Cuba in 1899, USA wanted to show their power towards the world. As their mission, they attacked phillipinos, even though they didn't want to take phillipine. Also, the phillipine nation struggled with Spain for a very long time. After getting their freedom from Spain, they wouldn't want to give away their independence to the USA, so sometimes it is called the Phillipine war of Independence.


    American notions of race and civilization greatly influenced U.S. support for the Philippine-American War that took place from February 1899 to July 1902. Their was another intension to go into the phillipine war to educate phillipine nation. However, after years of isolationist foreign policies, they coupled with the threat of growing European powers, and it had created a widespread anxiety among Americans into the 1890s.  Historians do argue because the USA wanted to prove their political leadership, and their leadership towards other nations.


    Imperialism, defined by The Dictionary of Human Geography, is "The creation and maintenance of an unequal economic, cultural and territorial relationship, usually between states and often in the form of an empire, based on domination and subordination."  However, after judging the USA,  it can be seen that the USA wanted to take this country or rule this country by removing the Philippine's own administration system. Also, not to tolerate civilian people, and last through massive destruction. Not only from that sense, but it is believed that every one will agree that you cannot destroy a nation just to prove that you are powerful.


    They way that Ameican troops treated the Phillipines was excrutiating. At the time of the phillipine war, there were many stories that could have been told that were not friendly. A Very famous writer, named Mark Twain, told on the American invasion war of Philippine that the Americans have pacified thousands of the islanders and buried them. They destroyed their fields, burned their villages, and turned their widows and orphans out-of-doors.


    The USA have acquired property in the three hundred concubines and other slaves of our business partner, the Sultan of Sulu, and hoisted American protecting flag over that swag. And so, by these Providences of God -- and the phrase is the government's, not general peoples' USA was and is  a World Power.From his frustration about the situation over there from Mark Twain really forced us to think about the mass destruction happened in Philippines by soldiers of USA.

So at last it's proved that USA went to unfair conflict in Philipinnes where they started a dark history for poor filipinos.So from here we all should take lesson that how to take control and deal with them with respect so that there shouldn't be any masscare like happened in Philippine.
