America's Leap into Imperialism: 1898, Hawaii and the Philippines

About the Lecture: Virtually unknown to the American people, the Spanish-American War of 1898 and the closely associated Philippine- American war reconfigured the USA into a far-flung imperial power. The event assured America's annexation of the Kingdom of Hawaii. It reduced the Philippines to a US colony for 48 years and virtually assured an eventual Pacific war between imperial Japan and the United States.

Tom Coffman is an independent researcher, writer and filmmaker. His "Nation Within" -- in PBS documentary film and a 400-page book -- developed a new understanding of the centrality of Hawaii to America's design on the Pacific. In the process, the nation of Hawaii was destroyed in 1898; the Spanish empire was commandeered, to the disastrous long-term interests of both the Philippines and the US. Coffman is also the author of the much-acclaimed Catch a Wave and other publications including America's Island Edge.
