Essay from the year 2013 in the subject History - America, grade: 93.0, Westminster College, course: U.S. as a World Power, language: English, abstract: This text discusses the Philippine – American War from 1899-1902 from its beginning to its direct outcome and repercussions. Coming into the twentieth-century, after the closing of the frontier in 1890, the United States was looking to expand its influence into new frontiers and solidify itself as a significant player on the world stage. Until 1890, the United States had always had a frontier, a vast expanse of uninhabited, untamed, territory to expand into and conquer. Much like Spain which sought other ventures after the Reconquista of the Iberian Peninsula in 1492 (which lead to the discovery of the American continents), the United States and the American people were forced to look elsewhere in order to continue expanding and developing as a world power.

It has been termed an insurgency, a revolution, a guerrilla war, and a conventional war. As David J. Silbey demonstrates in this taut, compelling history, the 1899 Philippine-American War was in fact all of these. Played out over three distinct conflicts--one fought between the Spanish and the allied United States and Filipino forces; one fought between the United States and the Philippine Army of Liberation; and one fought between occupying American troops and an insurgent alliance of often divided Filipinos--the war marked America's first steps as a global power and produced a wealth of lessons learned and forgotten. First-rate military history, A War of Frontier and Empire retells an often forgotten chapter in America's past, infusing it with commanding contemporary relevance.

If the Korean War is America's "forgotten war", then the Philippine American War must surely be America's "swept-under-the-rug" war. We may remember from high school history that the United States acquired the Philippines in the treaty that ended the Spanish American War, but how many of us remember that war in the Philippines followed? And yet, this war threatened to end the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt before his only elected term. Immediately after helping the Cuban people gain their freedom from an oppressive foreign nation, American found itself, largely due to Roosevelt's machinations as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, then as President, to be the foreign nation fighting to deny freedom for another oppressed people. It can certainly be argued that the people of the Philippines may have benefited over time from American involvement after the war. This volume, however, is primarily concerned with the impact on the American public and on America's image abroad that resulted from the war. The text includes the complete manuscripts of two publications, each written by a participant in that conflict. The first is Emilio Aguinaldo's TRUE VERSION OF THE PHILIPPINE REVOLUTION. Aguinaldo was the leader of the Filipino revolution against Spain, turned leader of the "insurrection" against the Americans. The second is A SOLDIER IN THE PHILIPPINES, by Needom N. Freeman, a private in the U.S. Army. Also included to add insight are photographs and other images of the war in addition to political cartoons condemning the most serious atrocities and suggestions for further reading.

A Soldier in the Philippines by Needom N. Freeman The Battle of Bayan and Other Battles by James Edgar Allen & John J. Reidy Two accounts within one special edition As the 19th Century drew to a close and the United States had consolidated its dominance of North America, the new nation looked outwards into a world of imperial powers who vied with each other to dominate the globe in influence and trade. Those Americans who believed that a great nation should not be absent from great politics ensured that the United States would soon be flexing its own muscles on the international stage. War in Cuba-the Spanish American War-followed, together with the annexation of the Philippine Islands. There the American forces had to deal with Spanish forces, those Philippinos who had their own ideas on independence and with the Moros, a fierce Muslim tribal minority ready to take on all comers. This book is not a campaign history. It deals with the day to day experiences on campaign-and on the firing line-of ordinary American soldiers fighting on strange and foreign shores. These recollections make fascinating reading for those interested in the early period of the American Army at war beyond its own frontiers.
