Cordell Hull (October 2, 1871 - July 23, 1955) was an American politician from the U.S. state of Tennessee. He is best-known as the longest-serving Secretary of State, holding the position for 11 years (19331944) in the administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt during much of World War II. Hull received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945 for his role in establishing the United Nations, and was referred to by President Roosevelt as the Father of the United Nations.

The PhilippineAmerican War, sometimes known as the Philippine War of Independence or the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) was an armed military conflict between the Philippines and the United States, which arose from the struggle of the First Philippine Republic against United States' annexation of the islands. The war was a continuation of the Philippine struggle for independence, following the Philippine Revolution and the Spanish-American War.

The American government had reassured the Filipino rebels that the U.S. was interested only in defeating Spain and, in the process, helping the Filipinos gain their independence. President McKinley publicly announced that annexation of the Philippines, "by our code of morality, would be criminal aggression." But after Spain was defeated, the United States turned against the Filipino rebels and took control of the Philippines, converting it into a US colony with the excuse that Filipinos were incapable of self-government. McKinley explained that "... there was nothing left for us to do but to take them all, and to educate the Filipinos, and to uplift and civilize and Christianize them," in spite of the fact that the Philippines had been already Christianized for centuries.

The struggle officially began on June 2, 1899, when the Philippines declared war against the United States and it officially ended on July 4, 1902, after Aguinaldo's surrender.

However, members of the Katipunan continued to resist the invading army. Among them was General Macario Sacay, a veteran Katipunan member who assumed the presidency of the proclaimed Tagalog Republic, formed on 1902 after the capture of President Aguinaldo. He was arrested on July 17, 1906, after being duped with a false offer of amnesty and the promise of a seat on the proposed National Assembly and was hanged by the U.S. military in 1907.

Other resistance groups, such as the Muslims and Pulajanes, continued hostilities until June 15, 1913 (Battle of Bud Bagsak).

Opposition to the war inspired Mark Twain to found the Anti-Imperialist League on June 15, 1898. British poet Rudyard Kipling wrote The White Man's Burden, about colonialism. In its aftermath, the war and United States' occupation would change the cultural landscape of the islands, as the people dealt with an estimated 200,0001,500,000 casualties, disestablishment of the Catholic Church as the state religion, and the introduction of the English language as the primary language of government and some businesses. In 1916 the United States granted the Philippines autonomy and promised eventual self-government, which came in 1934, and eventual independence in 1946.

@fuelban Resource the world over are being "bought" on the cheap by a political process that includes IMF and World Bank debt. Oil too. Look at Iraq, think a lot more my "friend".

[fuelban]

@pvisserandorra the taking of resources is not done !!! you mean there is no "OIL" flowing from such areas of war. MMmmm interesting. How ever wrong... (Gold flow and capital flow I will leave for another day.).....!!!! think on my friend....

@fuelban It was done in a different way. The taking of resources and the selling of finished goods has always been the goal, now the taking of resources is not done by military occupation. The end result is the same.

@fuelban WHAT are ya like

[fuelban]

I think you say that the, "British" empire was not as big as the American empire !!! for it is the British & not English, England is but one part of the whole of these islands, the sun never set on the British empire, and when i went to school the global map was still pink, we had land mass unknown by any present American equivalent, indeed USA was part of it, (at one time) so to state Americas super-seeding is wrong, unless to describe a Dollar empire .

I think what you are trying to say is: that the winners of war write the LAW, & if you look at the Caesar's of Rome, then they write the History too, as we Celt know rite well....

The UN human rights is a “letter to Santa Claus.” Our Rights of: Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness are part of the Laws of Nature. These Rights apply to all life and social systems throughout the world and they existed before humans. See the proof at: watch?v=tdNYVZQYJqI

@AntonBatey alive in body perhaps, I think his LAD device has failed to articulate an perceptible truth: He's clueless on what really happened on 911... Perhaps Hull's definition of civilization is predicated upon the idea of confiscating Everyone's personal private and real property and "consecrating" it to it's "rightful" owners, the NWO morally perverse maniacs with their hidden agenda's for a micro-chipped population.
