The problem with that war was we kept the Philippines under U.S. rule, instead of letting them become an independent nation. We could have signed a treaty with the new government to protect them from foreign aggression, and in that way we could have acquired "favored nation status" with them. Instead we killed all their rebels when they wouldn't accept U.S. rule. A bad precedent that led to our present-day situation as world "police officer".

@murggik, Spain didn't turn against protestants, rather king Charles (German emperor born in Flanders and incidently king of Spain also) fought against the rebellion in his domains. In addition, you ignore the fact that the Protestant Reform was not confined to religion sphere but also affected the political sphere. Many German noblemen supported the reform as a pretext to rebel against their emperor.

@CoreyStudios2000 there are 3 versions of the USS Maine explosion, 1) USA blew up there own ship, which is hardly unlikely, 2) The USS Maine exploded by an inner accident, which for me is the most probable, 3) The Spanish shot it purposely or accidentally, but don't believe that because Spain was in no condition of war, and was dead scared of American involvement

Of course I discriminate others' opinions if they are wrong. The simple-minded version of the bullet (did you learnt it at school?) as the cause of war is very weak as compared with the following reason: Filipinos fought against Spain to achieve independence, not to become a U.S. colony. I'm sure Americans did not want a genocide from the very beginning of the occupation. But they eventually made use of it to impose their colonization plans in Filipinas

@ARKALER 12 жыл бұрын

Recent investigations and computer graphic technology suggest that the USS Maine probably was destroyed by an explosion resulting from a fire in the coal bunker that was adjacent to the powder magazine. Bad design and faulty safety precautions were the likely causes. Not that it mattered at the time. The situation was practically a 'casus belli' on a silver platter, which is what most everyone wanted.

The Japanese "viewed us as a threat" in the 1930s, that's about 40 years and 3 emperors after this happened. In the 1890s while this was going on they were isolationists and had only been united under Imperial rule 30 years earlier courtesy of the French, British and Germans. They were not a global power until the 1920s really as their entire navy was built after WW1; and it was an oil embargo that made us a threat and pushed them into war.

@ILikeReallyBigButts Abusive ad hominem (also called personal abuse or personal attacks) usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to attack his claim or invalidate his argument, but can also involve pointing out factual but apparent character flaws or actions that are irrelevant to the opponent's argument. This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do

Read about the Persian Jewish community in Iran. Compared to your country's Saudi, Jordanian, Bahraini, Egyptian, Qatari and even Turkish "allies", the Iranians are quite tolerant in their treatment of Jews. In fact, Iran has the second largest Jewish community in the Middle East and the largest of any Muslim country. Ayatollah Khomeini even did numerous fatwas or sermons where he called for the universal protection of all Jews living in the Muslim world. Iran has nothing against Jews.

@MrCorocotta i understand, but these subjugated Filipinos are those loyal to Spain. after the war, America promise a new commonwealth and with it, its independence after WW II. Another is this, the Philippine-America Wr erupted because of some abusive and drunk officer on the Filipino side who was shot probably by an english immigrant. Then, the USA and the Philippines got all angry and argue each other about the incident to be on purpose, it truth is it was the shooter to blame, not USA.

USA was an emergent country, an emerging giant and wanted to create an empire. Spain was a country in decline, with two centuries of crisis, bankrupt and poor. It was a weak country who can easily take their colonies (Cuba, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Guam). In the same period, Germany also attempt to occupy the Spanish Micronesia (Marianas, Palaos, Carolinas islands). USA needed an excuse, the yellow journalism and WR Hearst were responsible for inventing.

But you can't blame Latin America's problems on Spain. We no longer are in control of the Continent. In fact when the Last French King in Spain left and the New Spanish King took control he limited the power of the Church and Monarchy This angered Latin America though. If you are mad because of all the Instability in America then that has to do with Corruption in your own government.

México also had a land border with the US, and the ability to draw large amounts of conscripts and troops from north American soil to fight. Spain could not easily transport a large conscript army or its regular army to Asia or the Americas to fight. In addition, one of their most modern war-fleets was prevented from leaving Europe by the English. Leaving Spain strongly hobbled in the defense of its colonies. The US won quickly because it seized either empty islands (Puerto Rico) or islands with rebellious and disloyal populations (the Philippines). Had the US tried to invade Spain itself (IE if it was a total war like the US war with México) the results would have hardly been quick or decisive (and would have likely united the Europeans into a coalition to prevent the Americans arriving in Europe). So yes, of course it didn't last long, Spain as a colonial power was dead in everything but name after the Napoleonic wars when their homeland was sacked and brutalized and their most precious colonies broke away from their empire and became new nations.

True enough but half those modern problems that exist are because of Spanish rule. The people who lived in these colonies were exploited as cheap labor and often brutalized and divided by their colonial oppressors. Most of the problems that exist in former colonies are a direct result of colonial policies of divide and conquer and the exploitation of local populations. Lets not forget the infamous Spanish and Dutch slave trade.

The US should have never get to Havana and went to a different part of Cuba to end the war.
