Chapter 18, sec.3, Critical Thinking #4

How was U.S. policy toward China different from U.S. policy toward the Philippines? To what can you attribute the difference?
US policy towards China was different from its policy towards the Philippines in many ways. Mostly African American troops were sent to stop the rebellion, and many soldiers left the army to join the Philippines side. They had also sent over 70,000 troops, and lost about 4,000. The rebellion took 3 years to stop. At this time the Philippines belonged to America while in China only the trade was being controlled. In china during the Boxer Rebellion America 2,500 American Soldiers and the rebellion was stopped in three months.
