Protectorate:

Protectorate was extremely important to the time period of
1890s. Protectorate was primarily known for
independent countries that are not independent, when a country tells another country they are independent but they don't have the authorized power, another way of making more expansion.
Protectorate is important to the time period of 1890s in a couple of
ways. One such way Protectorate is important to the time period is because
It basically told countries that they were independent but they weren't. Another way protectorate is important is because this  was just another loop hole for people to participate in expansion. Protectorate ties into Zinn's writings because in the book, there is only one quote that describes the paragraph and more, and that is, "The Americans have made our country free. Free as a dog on a leash." In Zinn's writings, this is evident throughout the whole entire piece. When Emilio was trying to get Filipino independence, the protectorate didn't let him, because it limits much of their power. In fact, it seems like their power isn't even split in half with the United States.
