The U.S Philippine war lasted from 1899-1902

Spain ceded its longstanding colony of the Philippines to the United States in the Treaty of Paris.

On February 4, 1899, just two days before the U.S. Senate ratified the treaty, fighting broke out between American forces.

Filipino nationalists led by Emilio Aguinaldo who sought independence rather than a change in colonial rulers.

The US Philippine war was significant because it marked the first battle overseas establishing them as a pacific power. The war solidified the United States as an imperial power, acquiring the Philippines as a colony after the Spanish-American War.

The Open Door Policy was proposed by U.S. Secretary of State John Hay in 1899 and reaffirmed in 1900, lasting throughout the early 20th century as a key aspect of U.S. foreign policy in China.

In 1899, the U.S. wanted to make sure that all countries could trade with China equally, without one country controlling everything. So, the U.S. asked other countries to let everyone have a fair chance to do business there.

The U.S. was worried that if China was divided up between other countries, they wouldn’t be able to trade with China, so they came up with the Open Door Policy to keep things fair for everyone.

The Open Door Policy was important because it helped the U.S. maintain access to China’s markets without having to fight for control, shaping America’s role in global trade. Today, it connects to ongoing issues about trade fairness, international influence, and the balance of power between countries.
