Because conquering is always more expensive than renting. A major factor in the failure of every empire in history is that the cost of maintaining violent rule over foreign people costs too much money and if not given up leads to economic collapse. *watches America's debt clock rise past 20,000,000,000,000.*

all the extreme patriotic people on these comments need to chill. If you actually want to kid yourself and think that America is this perfect country that has never done anything wrong, fine, stay with that mentality. just because someone (like john green) decides to acknowledge all the shit his country and his race has done, that doesnt mean that he hates his country. It means that he swallowed his pride and admitted that America is no angel. yall need to stop blindly following and agreeing with everything your country does just because of patriotism. learn to think for yourselves for christ's sake

It really sucks what America did to the Philippines. There aren't many ways to sugar coat it either.

[@agentrikamcgee]

Well, yeah. Everyone thinks that America did good things for the Philippines, and they did. But they did a lot of horrible things too. And we're still feeling the effects of those actions today. I wonder how many Americans realize that the Benevolent Assimilation is a big, fat lie and that the Spanish and Americans didn't even bother to let a Filipino representative in during the negotiation for the Treaty of Paris (in which America basically bought the country).

[@dandmarcus]

Luckily the Philippines have forgiven us, and in-fact, they are the US biggest 'supporter' now meaning they consistently favor us about 90% while our other close allies give us anywhere between 50-60% including the UK, Israel, Etc.

[@agentrikamcgee]

dandmarcus The Philippine government has forgiven the US, true. But then again not many people are educated about the things the US did when we were under their control, since more attention is paid to the Spanish colonial period (333 years compared to about 40 for US). And people get really riled up when the US refuses to let GIs stand trial for crimes they committed on Philippine soil. So the US might not be as highly approved as you think.

[@LaxGoalieWestPoint]

I'm Filipino along with the rest of my family, and nearly all Filipinos love America for what they did to us after World War 2, and during world war 2.

[@agentrikamcgee]

LaxGoalieWestPoint So am I, but I'm also highly skeptical of the US' policies pre-WWII and even beyond. Did you know that the Americans replace the fiesta with "Hygeia" because the fiesta is apparently "unsanitary"? And did you know that they still refuse to acknowledge that the Hukbalahap was part of the anti-Japanese forces during WWII? Or that they made kids build toilets as part of compulsory education? Or that after the occupation US was demanding parity rights, ie being able to own land in the Philippines? You probably don't. In fact, I wouldn't have learnt of this had I not had a history professor with a penchant of turning history on its head. Before, I used to think that the US occupation was probably one of the best periods in Philippine history. Now, I'm certain that is not the case. Sure, they gave us public education and whatnot, but there's also a dark side most Filipinos don't know about.

[@mgsan81]

Love these crash course videos, although the name of the Filipino gentleman who fought against the Spaniards is Emilio Aguinaldo, not Emiliano. His name is as iconic to Filipinos as Thomas Jefferson's is to Americans.

[@Uzzziii1337]

this channel has quite literally been helping me since middle school. I am now in college thank you so much for making history digestible for people who struggle with focus when reading =)

[@seangen]

Hi Crash Course! I have a one correction on your video. The first Philippine president is Emilio Aguinaldo (not Emiliano). Also, his surname is pronounced as A-GI-NAl-DO. Also, thanks for acknowledging the Filipino - American war. US schools teach this event as a "rebellion," even though the Philippines was declared an independent state before the first battle happened. Cheers, from the Philippines.

[@HardlyBardly]

I knew the Philipines got a very raw deal from the US during that time, but I had no idea just how bad it was. As much as I love the dry humor in John Green's work, I especially like that he's not afraid to put the darkest parts of history on the table like this. You can't learn from history if it stays swept under the rug, after all.

[@junjunagbayani4792]

Just a few corrections - It was Emilio Aguinaldo, not Emiliano. - Thanks for referring to the Philippine-American War as 'Philippine War' instead of the former term 'Philippine Insurgency' because the latter term implied that the country had no working independent government. - Many people do think that the Philippine-American War lasted until 1902 (not 1903), when the Americans declared the end of hostilities in the Philippines. However, if we are to add photos of the Battle of Bud Bagsak, then maybe we should count up to 1913.

Dude I've been using this channel since my freshman year of highschool, Currently a freshman in college and I'm still using it to help me fresh or get started on whatever history assignment I have. BTW if you really learn about US history which you of course go into greater depth in college. There is so much irony from what happened in the past and what current political issues there are today.

[@TheLoreSeeker]

Could've gone a bit more in depth into the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy. It's a rather interesting story.

[@Carla25hf]

[@jamesnelson6656]

I've been taking world and US history classes for 11 years and have never heard of what happened in the Philippines, Cuba, or Puerto Rico. Thank you crash course for teaching me

[@RoScFan]

I find the situation of Philippines and its struggle between two great powers, the US and Spain, and its parallel to Romania's struggle between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire very fascinating. It is extremely anti-parallel. The parallels are the struggle between two empires, using one to overthrow the other and then fighting against the ones that at first helped. The differences lie in how different the powers in question were, the very different

[@joshuaconner4540]

I've taken several US History courses at all levels of schooling and all I have to say is bravo!

Hi, I'd just like to point out that a lot of historians in the Philippines strongly believed that the battle in Manila Bay was a fake battle between the Spanish and Americans. If I remember correctly, the Americans already had an agreement with Spain to hold said battle in order to give the Americans some authority in saying that they mostly won the war in the Philippines, when actually, the Philippine revolutionaries had already been defeating the Spanish in the Islands, except in Manila, which I believe was the last foothold of the Spanish in the Philippines.

Hi there! I'm a history PhD student working on my prelims at the moment and I wanted to say how much I LOVE this wonderfully informative and funny presentation. Thank you for a wonderful teaching example: in addition to being informative, you've also given us an understanding of some of the historiographical debates taking place in a way that is mercifully understandable. I see in the comments below that others have already offered some critiques, but I think this is wonderful. I may end up using some of these vids for classes in future, if that would be acceptable.

***** Sorry to ask this, but is the picture in your profile a picture of you? Because if it is, being the picture of an african american, you should remember how you came to be an "african american": by having your distant ancesters conquered, enslaved and relocated to North America to work for europeans. Not to mention the fact that according to your logic, Abraham Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony and Martin Luther King Jr. were traitors for acknowledging there was something wrong with their country; a country born from the founding fathers's betrayal against the british crown.

Spain's view to avoid the ignominy of defeat is a foreshadowing of the Battle of Manila Bay. Philippine historians cite that the battle was just a "play" of sorts so Spain could save face after they "sold" their interests in the Philippines to the United States of America since they know for a fact they can't win. This is the prevailing view of many of my countrymen. Not being "that guy" but I'd like to point out it is Emilio Aguinaldo and not Emiliano. Thank you so much CrashCourse for the awesome video! I was looking for a supplement video/material regarding the Filipino-American War. If ever one of our local films titled "Heneral Luna" comes by your screens please please please watch it!

That's a gross oversimplification of the annexation of the Philippines. Just saying it was a simple land grab is entirely ignoring the context. You're ignoring the fact that the U.S. was competing for influence in the Pacific with the then rising German Empire, and was worried that a Philippines held by a weak Spain could fall into German hands. By taking it for itself, it would keep Germany from gaining a large strategic entry point into the Asian market. Without the German factor, annexation would have been a topic of much greater debate, even though it was already hotly debated in the Senate. A large portion of Senators were concerned that an annexation would be the first step towards a complete abandonment of the Constitution. They wondered how a country that was supposedly built on the idea that "all men were created equal" could maintain colonies where people would never have a shot at equal citizenship. And they were completely right: it was total hypocrisy. But the Germans lurking in the background made it much easier decision to make. Not to say that it didn't serve an economic purpose for America, but the decision to annex was driven by a host of other factors as well.

I've read that but It's more likely that the British would have stepped in. The German navy, from what I understand, didn't really have the capability to hold the Philippines but the British had been there since the 1760s. It was in fact the British that stood between the US Navy and the German flotilla during Dewey's attack.

Classic case of ends justify the means, I suppose. At the end of the day the Spanish American war made the US into a global power, greatly expanded US military and economic power, and brought an upsurge in national pride like nothing since the Civil War. But the fact of the matter is Spain never attacked the US, and in winning the war the US took over the role of colonial oppressor in the Philippines and Cuba.

+Daniel Ryan End justify the means you suppose? you say it like this was an altogether terribly bad thing. Cuba was free from American rule and only had capitalistic demands placed on it and its resources; leaving it to otherwise govern itself which it did heartily. It was a method of securing what was too close to you to be anything other than an ally; see cuban missile crisis. And, in the Philippines, the atrocities were the one part of this i can't and no one should be proud of. Seeing imperialism in itself as a bad thing is kind of idioitic. It opened trade and allowed connections to be formed with most of the known world, even civilizations that otherwise had no knowledge of one another and gave technology and political ideology to people with no concept of it.
