Did the united states betray its democratic principles when it made the philippines a colony? 100 points

Well, I think they did. Just come to think of the word. Democratic means right to the people. The people gives power to the government.  

The US made the Philippines a colony because they want to build a naval base in the Pacific, even if it will disrupt the Filipino's lives.

I hope it is helpful
