Spanish-American War & Philippine Insurrection (UW-Waukesha Continuing Education)

NEW! Spanish-American War & Philippine Insurrection

Instructor, Donald Valentino

Ever wonder what causes a war? Join us as we examine a"splendid little war" known as the Spanish-American War where the US took its first tentative steps onto the world stage. Discover the causes and events leading up to the war and the war itself and how the United States continued to face armed resistance in the Philippines for the next 15 years, forshadowing later 20th and 21st century US wars. Analyze the misunderstandings and US actions that led to the ensuing conflict in the Philippines and take away a better understanding of the cause and effect of war.
