The United States justified the annexation of the Philippines by citing the need for strategic military positioning in the Pacific region and the desire to bring American democratic ideals to the Filipino people.
Two main reasons used to justify the annexation of the Philippines were the need for strategic military presence in the Pacific to compete with other colonial powers, and the belief in the mission to "civilize" and Christianize the Filipino people.
Reasons for annexation included expanding American influence in the Pacific, acquiring new markets for trade, and spreading American ideals abroad. Reasons against annexation included concerns about violating Filipino sovereignty, the costs of maintaining a prolonged military presence in the Philippines, and ethical considerations regarding imperialism and colonization.
Supporters of the annexation of the Philippines argued that it would provide economic opportunities for American businesses, offer strategic military advantages in the Pacific region, promote American values and democracy, and fulfill a sense of moral obligation to uplift and civilize the Filipino people.
Pros: The US gained a strategic foothold in the Pacific, expanded trade opportunities, and had access to valuable resources like sugar and minerals. Cons: The annexation led to a brutal suppression of the Philippine insurrection, loss of Filipino lives, and a violation of Filipino sovereignty.
The arguments placed to annex the Philippines to the US were to bring civilization to the country and to have commercial and military bonds between the two countries. These arguments favored annexation.
The United States purchased the Philippines from Spain but conquered Guam.
