Yeah we “won” alright lmao just like we “won” in Vietnam

ftfy
It was more like Iraq where the Americans "won" militarily, but then lost geopolitically as they failed to annex the Philippines since the defeated local nationalists took advantage of Amerimutt colonial democracy by running for elections and peacefully continuing the struggle for Philippine independence by stressing the Americans out. One American Governor general even died of stress of dealing with Filipino leaders.
And then of course Americans hilariously belatedly realized that by annexing the Philippines, 10,000,000 Asians will become American citizens. In a time of the Chinese Exclusion Act, American racial autists saw the annexation as a nightmare.

The turn from “we should annex Cuba, half of Mexico, etc. for more slave lands” pre-Civil War to “holy frick not more brown people jesus christ anything but that” only 40 years later is the most hilarious part of post-War US history

Usa should had to depopulate philipines dont enact the 1924 inmigration act and settle those island with americans italians and russians and other european migrants
>What was even the point of annexing the Philippines?
In the 1890s-1900s tarded American expansionists were dreaming of copying their Anglosisters and becoming world hegemons. >Couldn't they just have made it an autonomous protectorate?
They did that in 1916, but the Philippines was too expensive to run, its political classes were too nationalistic and uncooperative, and American farmers b***hed about competition from cheap Filipino labor/products, and WASPs worried about Asians being able to freely enter the US. So they set it free in 1935-1946.
In the early 1900's after the Western territories were finished being "settled", given Statehood, and filled up by White Americans, a kind of panic/mode of thought became popular in the country that believed America would stagnate and decline without a "frontier" and thus needed to find a new one to take the place of the now settled West. The idea was that America should seize things like the former Spanish Empire (Philippines/Cuba/Puerto Rico/etc) in order to create a new frontier.

The US has never recovered from how cancerous this mindset was. Americans had minimal borders, stability and two oceans. Trying to frick around and manage islands made things way worse
>its political classes were too nationalistic and uncooperative
The ilustrado class immediately went to work for Taft, though. Partido Federal was the first party and they were very much pro-American.
The Partido Federal lost to the Partido Nacionalista as early as the 1907 Mutt-Sponsored Assembly Elections.
Besides the Federal consisted of Manila & Adjacent provinces' Illustrados. The Provincial Illustrados like the Cavite Boys remained loyal to the Nationalist Cause.
It was a last ditch decision when the US realized that the Philippine government was probably too weak to survive on its own and it would be annexed by somebody other than us (probably the Germans) and cut us off from the Pacific.
>It was a last ditch decision when the US realized that the Philippine government was probably too weak to survive on its own
Nah that's the later Americope. The US was initially out to annex the Philippines as an American territory as stated by the initial policy of Benevolent Assimilation.
McKinley just wanted to appease the war-mongering “imperialist” sentiment in the country going into the 1900 election. Roosevelt, Hearst, Lodge, etc. had whipped it up into craze after Cuba and McKinley was politically attuned enough to know if he just kept Luzon or gave the Philippines their “independence” Roosevelt would either gun for the Republican nomination or go down in defeat to Bryan
I've heard the take from one of my college professors that the goal was trade with China and the various colonial European powers there. The Philippines, having a very good port (Manila bay) and part of the dying Spanish Empire, was the perfect candidate to be the base for American commercial activity into China, and rather than let it fall into the hands of the Japanese, Dutch, or Germans, annexed it themselves. The sentiment of the paternal duty of Americans to civilize the inferior brown races in that time period also played a part.
The media is the media, it is what is essentially "clickbait" for that time period, but to their credit there are Philippine Negritos that look more or less like colloquial Blacks
Wasn't Spain's issue with the Philippines the fact that the colony was supposed to be place to help ship Spanish goods to other parts of Asia but the colony elites instead mainly just bought Asian goods and sold them to Spain/Europe instead leading to a trade imbalance.
>just bought Asian goods and sold them to Spain/Europe
No, that was always the plan. The real problem was that the colony always needed support from Mexico and later Spain, even with the profits from Chinese trade and domestic products export.

Wouldn't selling Spanish goods both imported from Spain or made in the Philippines into Asian markets make more?

Not enough demand for their products in Asia. Why bother importing from Europe when China and India are both so close and make superior product (at the time)?
I didn't know Philippines had alot of Negritos.
US soldiers stationed there immediately began referring to the men as Black folk while fricking their beautiful brownwomen
>White soldiers invading other people land:Call other people Black folk
>Also White Soldiers: ayo that red bone finna git this dick.
I always consider them a more refined bix nood race.
Pretty sure the Philippines being depicted as black on these cartoons is just a metaphor for barbarism rather than a literal thing
Didn't the US win that war lol

Pretty much. America acquired the Philippines with a halfbaked strategy.

100% accurate
it's funny how all these american cartoons don't even have the slightest idea what flips look like so they're just like "they're Blacks"

a) the average amerishit wouldn’t know the difference or care
