Perotisa, ever get the chance to read James Bradley's "Imperial Cruise." ?
As usual with all of Bradley's books, "Flag of My Father," "Fly boys," he always starts out mentioning the Philippine Insurrection. I don't know why, I think he actually wants to write a book about the war before the revisionist historians accomplish rewriting history. As you noticed the revisionist just a few years ago have already changed the name of the "Philippine Insurrection" to the "Philippine-American War."
But Bradley's "Imperial Cruise" explains how Teddy Roosevelt lit the fuse for war in the Pacific with Japan.
The book start out really weird, American progressives wanting to continue America's "Manifest Destiny." America expanding across the Pacific and our final goal returning to our ancestors motherland in the dark forest of Germany.
Controversial book when first published.
