 | | Spanish minister Práxedes Mateo Sagasta did much to try to prevent this, including withdrawing the officials in Cuba against whom complaints had been made, and offering the Cubans autonomy. | | | The Spanish also felt this way towards their colony, but Americans felt they had a more legitimate claim. | | | Faced with defeat, a lack of money, and resources to continue fighting Spanish occupation, Cuban revolutionary and future president Tomás Estrada Palma, then Head of the Cuban Revolutionary Junta, secured $150 million dollars from a U.S. banker to purchase Cuba's independence, but Spain refused. |

| | The Three Stooges in Iraq, and the U.S.’s First Stooge: Newsroom: The Independent Institute |
| | As in Iraq today, the results in the Philippines have been an enormous loss of life, extremely poor economic development (with a population expected to increase from 84 million today to 200 million by 2050), massive political corruption and human rights abuses, and a political system hardly embodying self-determination, let alone democracy. | | | Let’s then look at the alleged U.S. “success” in the Philippines during the last century as a “model” for Iraq, especially in the two key areas of counterinsurgency tactics and nation building. | | | With the turmoil in Iraq, the advocates of U.S. intervention there admit it may take decades to bring democracy to that nation, as if time were the crucial ingredient. |

| | The Controversy over Justification of Spanish Rule in the Philippines |
| | This can be gathered from the invariable conduct observed by the Spanish government in its rule over the islands. | | | Bishop Salazar then broached the existential phase of the question, alleging that all available information failed to show any such deliberate and free choice ever having been made by the Philippine natives and their rulers in favor of the King of Spain and his rule. | | | From what has been said, it is clear that there was a divergence of opinion among the religious in the Philippines on the temporal or political authority of the Spanish king over the islands. |

| | Due to extensive proselytization by the Church during the Spanish era, the Philippines are the only Christian nation in Asia, with over 82% of its population following the Roman Catholic faith. | | | There are also the Mestizos (Filipino-Spanish and Filipino-American) who are evidence of the long Spanish and American occupation of the country. | | | Because of its volatile post-independence governance, the Philippine nation has always received bad press - dictatorship, corruption, terrorist attacks and economic problems tend to overshadow its image; the forces of nature do not help either - the Philippines islands are regularly struck by natural disasters like typhoons, earthquakes, floods, landslides and volcanic eruptions. |
