America & the Philippines Part II: To Hell with Spain
This is the second in a series of five episodes regarding America's history with its first colony, the Philippines. America has fulfilled its' manifest destiny to go from sea to shinning sea, but without a frontier to conquer, the United States sets its sights upon empire. This episode takes a look at the run-up to the Spanish American War, the explosion of the Maine, and the Hollywood styled creation of the legend of Teddy Roosevelt, rough rider. Throughout it all, we will look at how each decision affected the Philippines, as the outbreak of the war would result in Commodore Dewey smoothly sailing into Manila Bay - ready to issue his infamous order 'you may fire when ready!'
