America when having the Philippines as a colony: "Why do I own you??"

[markstrang]

The American possessions in the Caribbeans would become like Puerto Rico.

Till this day even after all the revolution and the independence gained from america my country the Philippines is till in a way in love with america, so much so that our second language is English even though our Spanish roots still dominates as our official language, right now in our generation official language of tagalog is slowly replaced by English so much so that we kinda call it taglish now

The US Marie Corps was one of Haiti's best governments.

The U.S. could have annexed all of Mexico with the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo if they had really been imperialist, they had totally won the capital of Mexico.

"america decided against annexing cuba because they didnt want a bunch of mixed race catholics" i find that offensive as a new mexican lol.

Last time I was this early the Mongols were pillaging Moscow.

I don't think America would make Spanish an official language beyond the state level because English isn't an official language on the Federal level. At best though, it would become an accepted administrative language and there would be efforts to ensure that Spanish is equally acceptable alongside English in the public sector.

LOL "abandon" the Philippines because of economic reasons? FYI the Philippines was one of the wealthiest countries in Asia when the US left. The only reason the US allowed the Philippines independence was because there were too many natives to assimilate into the US. If the Philippines somehow gained statehood instead of independence back in the day, it would have easily been like Hawaii is today in terms of development, but with a population at least double, even triple that of California, in fact this hypothetical "Philippine Region" of the US would probably itself broken up into three states (Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao), which is a big power block (6 senators) that is made up mostly of non-whites, so can you see why the US had to let the Philippines go instead of trying to absorb it like they did Hawaii?

10:03 "The Western powers did some bad stuff in Africa."

I feel like that sentence deserves a spot on the list of top 10 biggest understatements of all time.
