    CONTEXT ANALYSIS OF PHILIPPINE CARICATURES

    HISTORICAL CONTEXT
    After 333 years, the Philippines is finally free from the colonization of the
    Spaniards. This, however, does not mean total freedom. In 1898, when the
    Spanish-American War ended, Spain sold the archipelago of the Philippines to the
    United States of America for $20 million. The Philippines has a new colonial
    ruler, the Americans. This led to the Philippine-American War due to the
    resistance of the Filipino Muslims who were still angry about the Spanish
    takeover. This war was declared to be over a year after when Aguinaldo allied
    with the US. America’s President McKinley implemented a policy of benevolent
    assimilation, where the US would control the country until it develops its self-rule
    and independence.
