			=== Foreign Policy ===
			McKinley's government launched the Spanish-Statesian War in 1898, allowing the United States to expand its rule. During this war the Philippines declared the [[First Philippine Republic]] and as Spain was unable to maintain control over it, it sold the [[Colonialism\|colony]] to the U.S. for $20 million as they retreated.<ref name=":1">{{Citation\|author=A.B.

			The U.S. subsequently landed troops in the Philippines to crush the newly independent state and committed [[genocide]] against the local population, killing as many as 1.4 to 3 million people, most of who were civilians. McKinley justified the invasion as a "humanitarian intervention" believing that the native population was unfit to rule their own land and regarded it as his [[Christianity\|Christian]] duty to "uplift and civilize then Christianize them.”<ref name=":1" />

			=== Assassination ===
	The [[Anarchism\|anarchist]] [[Leon Czolgosz]] shot and killed McKinley in September 1901 at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. Following the assassination, [[Emma Goldman]] was imprisoned for two weeks for allegedly inspiring the assassination but was released.<ref name=":0" />		The [[Anarchism\|anarchist]] [[Leon Czolgosz]] shot and killed McKinley in September 1901 at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.
