  1. The US kept the Philippines poor. The Country only started to grow when they kicked the US out.

  2. Zero importance. Philippines was in poverty under U.S. control. When Philippines started doing business with Japan and China , the country started to flourish

  3.  @ZenSuarez-n9b  It’s not like a video game. There is no need to pick allies and enemies. Philippines can be like Switzerland

  5.  @Dubs22005  US took over the Philippines in 1898 and massacred more Filipinos in 10 years that the total killed by Spain in 300 years. Philippines is not a State because in 1901 the Congress and U.S. Supreme Court decided that they did not want to annex savages (this is in the Library of Congress); so it was decided to keep all the new colonies as Unincorporated Territories. Hawaii had already been Incorporated in 1893 so this new law did not apply to Hawaii.

  7.  @Dubs22005  That’s what historians do. Catholic Priests kept records of many things. All the information is readily available for anyone to read.

  10. Never happened as a colony of the US and will never ever happen. The US extracts resources and wealth, never invests.
