Summary
DescriptionMcKinleyPhilippinesCartoon.jpg
English: 1898 US Political Cartoon. US PresidentWilliam McKinley is shown holding the Philippines, depicted as a savage child, as the world looks on. The implied options for McKinley are to keep the Philippines, or give it back to Spain, which the cartoon compares to throwing a child off a cliff. The option of granting independence seems not to be on the cartoonist's mind.
Français : Caricature américaine présentant le président des États-Unis William McKinley tenant par le cou les Philippines, représentées par un enfant sauvage, le tout sous l'oeil intéressé du monde. La remise des Philippines entre les mains de l'Espagne (Spain) est représentée comme une projection de l'enfant du haut d'une falaise. L'affiche est titrée « Que fera-t-il ? » (What will he do ?).
