The founding of the American Anti-Imperialist League was largely in response to:
The annexation of the Philippines
After the Spanish-American War in 1898, the United States acquired several territories from Spain, including the Philippines. This imperialistic move was met with resistance by those who believed that the United States should not engage in empire building and that the Philippine people had the right to self-determination. The American Anti-Imperialist League was established in 1899 to campaign against the annexation and the United States' emerging imperialistic policies.
