Best Answer

Among the reason to take the Philippines was to prevent Germany or Japan from taking it over. The US wanted a Naval Base and Coaling Station in the Pacific, but was not interested in owning the Philippines. The fear was that if they did not take over the Philippines from Spain, the Spanish might find a buyer that was hostile to American interests.
