This brought about questions of what America should do with the Philippines. Soon, controversy ensued both in the American political arena as well as among its citizens.

Despite much controversy, America followed the example of the imperialistic nations in Europe and sought to conquer the Philippines as an imperialist colony that they would rule either directly or indirectly.
