Benevolent assimilation
The term Benevolent Assimilation refers to a policy of the United States towards the Philippines as described in a proclamation by U.S. President William McKinley issued on December 21, 1898. The proclamation was issued after Spain was defeated in the Spanish–American War but before fighting began in the Philippine–American War.

This created a stand-off between opposing armies that would erupt in fighting in early 1899.

Otis to the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands, January 4, 1899.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=McKinley’s Benevolent Assimilation Proclamation )〕 General Otis had also sent an unaltered copy of the proclamation to General Marcus Miller in Iloilo City who, unaware that an altered version had been sent to Aguinaldo, passed a copy to a Filipino official there. The unaltered version eventually made its way to Aguinaldo.
Otis later explained,
