• America & the Philippines Part III: Democracy on the Rocks

  This is the third in a series of five episodes regarding America's history with its first colony, the Philippines.  Control of the Philippines has changed hands thanks to the Spanish American war and an additional 20 million dollars for the Archipelago.  For the first time in its history, America takes up the mantle of Empire.  This episode traces that starts and stutters that marked the beginning of the so called 'benevolent empire.'  William McKinley, William Howard Taft, and Teddy Roosevelt each attempt to 'self-duplicate' their nation by exporting our values, education, and governing systems.  Unfortunately, the continuing insurgency threatens to place the entire experiment in the hands of the military, one that had yet to embrace their 'little brown brothers.'  Contact the show at [email protected] or on Bluesky @EmpiresPod If you would like to financially support the show, please use the following paypal link.

• America & the Philippines Part II: To Hell with Spain

  This is the second in a series of five episodes regarding America's history with its first colony, the Philippines. America has fulfilled its' manifest destiny to go from sea to shinning sea, but without a frontier to conquer, the United States sets its sights upon empire.  This episode takes a look at the run-up to the Spanish American War, the explosion of the Maine, and the Hollywood styled creation of the legend of Teddy Roosevelt, rough rider.  Throughout it all, we will look at how each decision affected the Philippines, as the outbreak of the war would result in Commodore Dewey smoothly sailing into Manila Bay - ready to issue his infamous order 'you may fire when ready!'
