Why the US "Forgot" to Buy These Philippine Islands in 1898?
Did the United States overpay for a broken map? In 1898, the Treaty of Paris saw the US purchase the Philippines from Spain for $20 million—but they accidentally left out key islands. From rushed negotiations in a Paris hotel room to a $100,000 "patch" treaty, we explore how a single stroke of a pen created a "coordinate gap" that still fuels modern geopolitical conflicts in the West Philippine Sea today.
In this episode of Hiraya Explainer PH, we dive deep into:
The staggering modern value of the $20 million purchase.
How Cagayan Sulu and Sibutu were legally "left behind" for two years.
The "Coordinate Gap": Why the Spratlys and Scarborough Shoal weren't clearly defined.
