Ninth Identification

United State of America:

USA was extremely important to the time period of
1890s. USA was primarily known for taking away independence so that the country can stay if not get better than the way it was, for turning their backs on the Philippines, and for being the land of opportunity. USA is important to the time period of 1890s in a couple of ways. One such way USA is important to the time period is because it took away much of different countries independence. Another way USA is important is because
it made loop holes to have more expansion. The way that USA ties into Zinn's writings is because in the textbook, they make it sound like USA didn't do too bad of things, and that it was for the greater good. Well, not necessarily. The US fired 500 pound shells at the Philippines. There were so many dead bodies, that the US used the bodies to defend themselves at Pasig River.
