The United States sought control over the Philippines after the Spanish-American War in 1898 for several reasons. Strategically, the Philippines served as a critical gateway to Asian markets, particularly China, enhancing U.S. trade opportunities. Additionally, there was a prevailing belief in American expansionism and the idea of manifest destiny, which justified the acquisition of territories to spread democracy and civilization. The U.S. also aimed to establish itself as a global power, and controlling the Philippines was a step toward that goal.
