Sad Fact:

The Philippine-American war is one of the forgotten wars in the US, but is actually crucial to US history, because this was the war that convinced the United States to no longer engage in Imperialism and end the Manifest Destiny claim that America is destined to expand. After learning about the horrible atrocities committed by Americans against Filipinos like putting Filipinos into concentration camps, burning villages, massacres. And in the result up to 100, 000-1, 000, 000 Filipinos have died. And it resulted in America becoming very Anti-Imperialist with authors like Mark Twain condemning American imperialism and American atrocities.
