its land yet it was oppressing the Philippines. The revolt by the Philippines following the defeat of the Spaniards through the allied forces saw the US utilize ruthless tactics such as burning civilian villages, killing of prisoners as well as creation of concentration camps.

Spent generous amounts of money and used up resources. This war was against Spain. The reason for the war was to win over the Philippines. And for the United States to become more of a world power.
