They disagreed over the annexation of Cuba. They disagreed over the annexation of Hawaii. They disagreed over the acquisition of the Philippines. They disagreed over the purchase of Puerto Rico and Guam.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is
They disagreed over the acquisition of the Philippines


The republicans didn't want the Philippines while the Democrats wanted to acquire it. Those against it believed that it would make the US into an imperialist force like those in Europe that they believed were evil, while the Democrats wanted more land and more resources, claiming that they would help the people of Philippines.

Answer:

The Correct Answer is

They disagreed over the acquisition of the Philippines

Explanation:

  • The anti-imperialists rejected the extension because they considered imperialism disrupted the republicanism, particularly the requirement for permission of the ruled.
  • Beveridge is recognized as one of the most notable American imperialists. He advocated the capture of the Philippines and, with Republican chief Henry Cabot Lodge, contested for the development of a modern fleet.
