21- The Philippine Insurgency and the Boxer Rebellion

In  this episode I talk with Professor David Silbey about the strategic rationale behind the Spanish American War, the Philippine Insurgency and the anti-guerrilla tactics the army honed on the frontier against Native Americans to fight the insurgency, and the boxer Rebellion in China. We discuss how the Boxer Rebellion echoes in Chinese policy towards the world today and dive into some of the strategic calculus that the Chinese government and military may be making today, and why they feel they need a navy and zone of influence.  Tune in for a fascinating discussion. David Silbey's books (click here)Visit the Typhoon Bearing website: typhoonbearing.substack.comSupport the show here: https://usnavalhistorypodcast.com/#/portal/signupEmail me at: ⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠Follow me on IG: ⁠⁠⁠@USNavyPodcast⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Twitter:⁠⁠⁠ @ChaseHDalton⁠Please also share, rate, and subscribe to help the show grow.
