“For the United States to step forward as a defender of helpless countries matches its image in American high school history books, but not its record in world affairs. It had instigated a war with Mexico and taken half of that country. It had pretended to help Cuba win freedom from Spain and then planted itself in Cuba with a military base, investments and rights of intervention. It had seized Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam and fought a brutal war to subjugate the Filipinos.”

— Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States
