For forty years, the Americans have been proud of their record in the Philippines. The best work was done in the first two decades, but the momentum continued. In 1898, the U.S. took the Philippines from Spain in an eight months' war that started in Cuba. Debates were raging at home. Americans were not united on this new policy of conquest.
