or
false

False. After the Spanish-American War, America wanted to make Philippines as part of other colonized country by signing the treaty (of Paris) with Spain. Emilio Aguinaldo (the first Philippine president) objected this idea which led to the Philippine-American War which effected casualties on both parties. In 1900, William Howard Taft (the US future president), advertised policies that hopefully would attract Filipino elites and antis against Aguinaldo’s claim for independence. However through the Jones Act, US finally gave the independence to the Filipinos as promised on 1946.
