In my opinion The United States ordeal with Annexing the Philippines and the idea that we had of going into war with them was great mistake and should have been avoided. The Filipinos and Americans were deadlocked in war with each other. This all became a controversy with the two nations in 1898 when the Treaty of Paris between Spain and the United Stated ceded all seven thousand islands of the Philippine archipelago to the United …showed first 75 words of 489 total…

…showed last 75 words of 489 total…have to be pushing everybody else around. So when The Philippine rebels were not willing to trade Spain’s domination for America’s we acted just like the big bully that we were and would not back away or try to do something peaceful to resolve our problems. If we would have treated this situation different and maybe taken a more peaceful rout to the situation things would have ended up different and more peaceful!
