In 1898, the United States viewed the Philippines as a strategic asset for economic expansion in Asia, particularly for trade with China and the broader Asia-Pacific region. The islands offered access to valuable markets and resources, including sugar, hemp, and other agricultural products. Additionally, controlling the Philippines allowed the U.S. to establish a military presence in Asia, enhancing its geopolitical influence. Overall, the economic value was tied to both direct resource extraction and the broader opportunities for American commerce in the region.
