Taft held a number of positions (head of the second Philippine Commission, first US civil governor of the islands, US Secretary of War, and US president) which mark him out from others in the period as an individual of unparalleled influence over US-Philippine policy during its formative years. Although initially a skeptic of imperialism, Taft came to believe that the best course for US-Philippine relations was a permanent imperial bond much like the relationship between Great Britain and Canada or Australia at the time. Based largely on personal correspondence and other primary documentation, this books researches in great depth Taft and his views on empire-building from 1900 to 1921, when Taft was appointed to the Supreme Court"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Taft, William H. $q (William Howard), $d 1857-1930 $x Influence. 600 17 $a Taft, William H. $q (William Howard), $d 1857-1930. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031956 650 0 $a Imperialism $x History $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104314 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Philippines. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100432 651 0 $a Philippines $x Foreign relations $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008116577 651 0 $a Philippines $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Colonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868483 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Imperialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968126 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 651 7 $a Philippines. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205261 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Burns, Adam, D. $t William Howard Taft and the Philippines $b First edition. $d Knoxville : University of Tennessee Press, [2020] $z 9781621905707 $w (DLC) 2020004174 830 0 $a Legacies of war. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010052393 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA805EFC9F4211EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
