Question

After the Spanish-American War, the U.S. annexed the Philippines, and they were happy to have America replace Spain as a colonial partner.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

No, the U.S. and the Philippines were not happy to have America replace Spain as a colonial partner after the Spanish-American War.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that the U.S. and the Philippines were happy to have America replace Spain as a colonial partner after the Spanish-American War is false. While the United States did annex the Philippines after the war, the people of the Philippines actually fought a bitter war with the United States for their independence. More than one million people died in the conflict. The United States would later grant the Philippines its independence in 1946.
