仁慈同化政策
仁慈同化政策(英语:Benevolent assimilation)是指美国总统威廉·麦金莱在《巴黎条约》签署后于1898年12月21日在给美国战争部长的备忘录中所描述的美国对菲律宾的政策,该政策结束了美西战争。[1]它指出,菲律宾群岛未来的控制以及处置已被西班牙割让给美国,美国军政府的统治将扩展到整个菲律宾群岛。
仁慈同化政策部分内容如下:
“最后,军事当局的真诚愿望和首要目标应该是赢得菲律宾居民的信任、尊重和喜爱,方法是尽一切可能向他们保证个人权利和自由的充分衡量标准,并通过向他们证明美国的使命之一是仁慈同化,用正义的温和统治取代专制统治。”[2]
该仁慈同化政策之公告已发送给驻菲律宾美军司令兼总督埃尔韦尔·奥蒂斯将军。埃尔韦尔·奥蒂斯向埃米利奥·阿奎纳多发送了一份该公告之版本。[3][4][5]
