A proposito di questo titolo

 In Episode 4 of The Rise of the United States as a Global Empire, Lucas and Luna dive deep into the American colonization of the Philippines—a story that began with the Spanish-American War but quickly turned into a brutal, often overlooked conflict. They explore the Philippine-American War (1899-1902), where over 4,000 American and an estimated 200,000 Filipino soldiers and civilians died. Lucas unpacks the complexities of Emilio Aguinaldo's leadership, the vicious guerrilla warfare, and the infamous 'water cure' torture used by US forces. The conversation moves through the establishment of a colonial government under William Howard Taft, the policy of 'benevolent assimilation,' and the long road to independence, which finally came on July 4, 1946. Along the way, they discuss the Moro Rebellion, the Jones Act of 1916, the Tydings-McDuffie Act, and the Philippine Commonwealth under Manuel Quezon. This episode challenges the myth of a purely benevolent American empire, forcing listeners to reckon with the violence and paternalism that accompanied the spread of US power across the Pacific.
