U.S and they

The U.S. Made bad decisions with good intentions during the imperialism era.

The U.S. intended to help the Filipino's revolt against the Spanish so that they would be their own country. After the war was over, the U.S. wanted to keep their presence in the Filipines until the filipino's had a steady form of government going. The whole time the U.S. was in the Philipines they thought that they were helping the Filipino's when the U.S. was just doing the same thing Spain did to the philipines.
