The Philippine-American War has rarely been analyzed from the Filipino viewpoint. As a consequence, Filipino military activity is little known or misunderstood. This study aims to shed light on the Filipino side of the conflict. It does so by utilizing the Philippine Insurgent Records, which are the records of the Philippine government. More importantly, the thesis examines 300 years of Filipino history, starting with the Spanish conquest, in order to provide a framework for understanding Philippine military culture.

The author of this dissertation examines the role of the United States Navy in the American annexation of the Philippines during the War of 1898. Many historians have considered the American “Imperialist Moment,” but few have considered the primary role played by the United States Navy. The Navy had experienced a period of remarkable growth during the 1880s and 1890s, when that service had switched from the power of sail to steam. The change to steam had been possible only through the study of the British Royal Navy and its engineers. When the U.S. Navy completed its modernization project in the 1890s, it came away with a British understanding of naval engineering and of naval priorities – including the desire to possess naval bases around the globe. This dissertation contains a detailed account of how the U.S. Navy came to understand its needs, and this dissertation demonstrates how the War of 1898 brought home to naval planners the necessity of possessing exclusive American coal stores during wartime. Last, this dissertation includes the thoughts of the most significant American naval planners of the time and their British mentors. This paper is an intellectual history of the U.S. Navy of the late nineteenth century and a specific history of the basis for American foreign policy of the twentieth century. Keywords: History of U.S. Foreign Policy, American Naval History, War of 1898

This project seeks to clarify the historical significance of women in the American West between 1870 and 1930 through the education, careers, and personal lives of western women physicians. The narratives presented in the work provide alternative roles for western women aside from the stereotypical images found in popular culture and history, such as the "Bad Woman," the prostitute, and the obedient homesteading wife. This collective biography additionally demonstrates how women participated in American medical culture during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, emphasizing their agency as historical actors, and countering the common misconception that Victorian women were merely passive subjects of their time and place. The lives of four physicians named Ellis Reynolds Shipp, Mary Babcock Atwater, Mary Bennett Ritter, and Mary Canaga Rowland are available through memoirs, biographies, scholarly articles, newspapers, and other sources that contextualize their careers into the broader context of Western, medical, and nineteenth-century history. Through their personal and professional experiences, a greater story of female autonomy emerges in a period understood to be inherently oppressive to and unnavigable for women.
