[Title] => No se vende
[Summary] => When it became known in Manila that the Philippine Islands had been ceded to the United States for $20 million, there were angry comments: No se vende un pueblo como se vende un saco de patatas. (You dont sell a nation like a sack of potatoes).
In fact the Islands were not "sold". The Americans demanded that the Archipelago be turned over to them, which Spain, having lost the war and being threatened with a renewal of the war, could not resist. But $20 million were paid to "compensate" for installations and improvements.
