Why did the US not give the Philippines independence right away?
The point of the Spanish-American War was to seize Spanish territory so the US could have an overseas empire. Cuba's fight against Spain was the excuse, which was why Cuba became independent immediately after the war, provided it remain a US ally. To keep Cuba as a US possession would have been like the Union keeping the slaves after the Civil War. Of course, the Union did not keep the slaves, but it kept everything else. By the same token, Puerto Rico became a US base in the Caribbean, with the Philippines and Guam providing US bases in the Pacific. ... That's not true... After the Spanish-American War, we received Cuba, Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam as a surprise. The Spanish just gave them up and we didnt know what to do with them. since we promised Cuba its independence before the War, we gave them up fast. We struggled over the Philippines only because it gave us a new route and stop point for trade with Asia, and since we were in a depression at that time, we needed a boost in our economy. Also, if we just gave up the Philippines right after the War, they would be in chaos because they didnt have a form of government since they were a territory on the Spanish. Also, if we let them go, Germany had their eyes on the island so it would have been taken quick. After we stopped the chaos in the Philippines and set up government we let them go.
