I would define the population of this study as biased. US doctors receive a huge amount of money from drug companies for prescribing their drugs and to not support them would reduce their incomes drastically.
The US took control of the Philippines after they helped them with the Spanish. And Filipinos wanted freedom or the US to get out.
if the spanish defeted us we would be ruled by the spanish <3
The Spanish would rather see Cuba sunk than sold to the U.S.
there would be lots of spanish talking

pizarro.
The US gained control of the Philippines and Cuba as a result of the Spanish-American War, which would include Manila Bay.
They didn't actually NEED to, but it did drastically reduce shipping times from the east to the west coast, by cutting the distance approximately in half, meaning that while the canal is useful for a lot of countries, it was particularly useful for the US. The US also felt that having control of the canal in potentially unfriendly hands would be bad... in the event of war, an enemy country could close the canal to US ships, meaning it would be much more difficult and time consuming to move ships between the Atlantic and Pacific fleets.
