1) What happened on February 4, 1899 and why did this happen?
The Filipinos erupted in rebellion against the occupying United States forces
after the Senate refused to pass a bill giving the Filipinos their independence.
The insurrection was led by Emilio Aguinaldo.
The Filipinos thought that the treaty would give them their independence,
like the Cubans. This was not the case and on February 4, 1899, the Filipinos
started a rebellion against the occupying American forces. The insurrection
was led by Emilio Aguinaldo.
2) How did the insurrection end and what did the US do to create stability?
In 1901, American soldiers captured the rebellion's leader, Emilio Aguinaldo,
effectively ending the rebellion.
President McKinley appointed the Philippine Commission in 1899 to set up a
Filipino government. William H. Taft led the body. He genuinely liked the
Filipinos, while the American soldiers did not.
3) What was the “open door” policy and why did it lead to the BOXER
REBELLION? Who were the boxers?
Following China's defeat by Japan in 1894-1895, several European powers
move into China. Secretary of State John Hay released the Open Door note,
which urged foreign powers to respect Chinese commercial rights. Russia
was the only major power to not accept it.
In 1900, Chinese group known as the "Boxers" killed hundreds of foreigners
in the Boxer Rebellion. A multinational rescue force came in and stopped the
rebellion.
4) How did Teddy Roosevelt become President in 1901? Why he known to,
“Speak softly and carry a big stick”. How did he feel about our Constitution
and its “Checks and Balances”?
In September 1901, President McKinley was assassinated. Theodore
Roosevelt took over the presidency.
Roosevelt felt that the president should lead, boldly. He had no real respect
for the checks and balances system among the 3 branches of government. He
felt that he may take any action in the general interest of the public that is
not specifically forbidden by the Constitution.
