The Manifest Destiny was coined by John O' Sullivan in 1845. This term referred to the belief that U. S territorial expansion was intended and supported by God. This also inlcuded the spread of ideas, beliefs and democracy across other nations.

In accordance with this idea, US signed the Treaty of Paris with Spain in which Spain gave US the Philippines. As a consequence, the First Philippine Republic showed opposition against the agreement. This act was considered insurrection by the North American government, which initiated war. This conflict came to an end in 1902 when US won.
