During the late 1800s the United States where imperializing other countries to benefit and make themselves a overly…

The Philippines gives us a base at the door of all the East.” This essentially means that the Philippines provided the United States with a spot for more trading to…

States (U.S.) military efforts in both the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) and Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) were successful combat operations.
