No. In fact, the treatment by US forces to the Philippines and Mexico were the worst: one of the reasons of the Spanish-American War (1898) was the awful treatment given by Spanish colonial forces to the Cuban population, including concentration camps, looting of civilians' possessions and what we would know today as war crimes. Ironically, this same treatment was given by the US to the Philippines during the Philippine-American War (1899-1902) and to Mexico during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).

In the case of Mexico, the best example are the atrocities committed by the paramilitary group known as the Diablos Tejanos (Texan Devils), who acted more like a band of savages, killing and pillaging unarmed citizens.

In the case of the Philippines, the most known case is the Pacification Campaign (1901-1902), which nowadays would be considered as a series of crimes against humanity.

Is new Spain now Mexico?

The real question is this, "Was Mexico New Spain"? But YES. Yes indeed. It began with the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in central Mexico (the Valley of Mexico in central Mexico) in 1521. Meanwhile, Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan arrived into the Philippines in Asia and claimed the Philippines for Spain. In 1543, Ruy Lopez de Villalobos had named the Philippines "Las Islas Filipinas" (The Philippine Islands in Spanish) in honor of Philip II of Spain. Philip II was the KING of Spain and Portugal, but was originally born in Spain. And so, the Philippines was named after Philip II of Spain. Spanish colonization began in the Philippines when Spanish explorer, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi arrived in the Philippines from Mexico (New Spain) in 1565. From 1565 to 1821, the Philippines was a territory of New Spain, which IS NOW Mexico because when the Spanish conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico, the Spanish had claimed the Aztec Empire as "NEW SPAIN". So Mexico became New Spain. Also, New Spain, including the Philippines in Asia, was governed by the Spanish from Mexico City (formerly Tenochtitlan). Mexico City was the capital of New Spain. Mexico City is also the capital, largest city, and federal district of Mexico.
