One of the problems it created for the US was the long and costly Philippine American War.
True
"Financially, the cost was borne by the US since the Philippines were part of the US from 1898 until about 1945.Technically...the Philippine-American war was an INSURRECTION against the US government since they were part of or governed by the United States. However, people today want to be remembered as "war veterans" so they changed the named from "Philippine Insurrection" to "Philippine War" which is technically not correct since there was NO PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT fighting against the US government. It would be like some state (California as an example) fighting against the rest of the United States; however that might really be closer to a "real war" since California HAS A GOVERNMENT (the capital is in Sacramento). The Philippine people had just gotten released from Spain and almost immediately became protectorates under American (US) rule. So there was NO Philippine government...to be at war with!"Spoken like a true American.Legitimate answer:It took three years for America to win the Philippine-American war. It cost the Americans 10,000 casualties and $600 million, 16,000 soldiers were killed, and about 200,000 civilians died of pestilence, disease, and accident.War crimes committed by the United States Army include the March across Samar and the wanton destruction of a democratically elected government.It is a globally-accepted fact that it was indeed a war and not an "insurrection" since the Revolutionary Government of Malolos has been a looming entity even before the Spanish-American war. An actually-legitimate state has been formed the moment Commodore George Dewey asked for the aid of the revolutionary leader Emilio Aguinaldo in Hong Kong. Simply put, it could be compared to a scenario where the American Revolution was suddenly crushed by another foreign power that were also fighting the British.
True
The poor filipino soldiers during 1898( The first Republic in Asia ) resort to guerrila warfare or tactics because they cannot match American advance weaponry. The tactic worked and a lot of American soldiers were killed as a result. The Americans resort to brutal tactics such as confinement of a whole province ( they call it reconcentration and was done in Vietnam 1960's ) and killing of suspected filipino sympathizers. Eventually, since at that time there is no Geneva convention or media to report gross human rights abuse, the American were able to succeed in defeating the poor galant pinoy soldiers ( who fought with outdated rifles taken from the spanish soldiers and some bolo's - big knife ) The war ended when Americans captured Emilio Aguinaldo - president of the republic of the Philippines ( the first republic in Asia ). To note, a lot of the amercian soldiers who fought against the Filipinos were veterans of the Indian war, where they massacred a lot of the native Indians ( they are not very fond of colored race )

You should try more research.
No, the Spanish word "onerous" does not mean expensive. "Onerous" translates to "gravoso" or "pesado" in Spanish, meaning burdensome or difficult rather than costly.
The terms of the peace treaty proved costly for Spain. The Spanish had to give up all claims to Cuba and cede Puerto Rico and the Pacific island of Guam to the U.S. Spain also turned control of the Philippines over to the U.S. in exchange for a $20 million payment.

A person can buy Spanish language learning games at Rosetta Stone, although it is extremely costly and the games may not be great, learning the Spanish language will be a reward in and of itself.
