Answer:
The white man's burden was the war between two countries, The United States and the Philippine, in which the United Stated were forced to renounce authority over Philippine.
Explanation:
The white man's burden is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling, about the American and Philippine War in the year (1899–1902), which forces the United States to assume colonial control of the people of Filipino and their country
On February 7, 1899, during the debate in senate, they decide if the US should hold control of the Philippine Islands and also ten million Filipinos conquered from the Spanish Empire.
Senator Benjamin Tillman read out the the stanzas which includes the first, the fourth, and the fifth of eight-stanza Kipling's poem as a case against the consent of the Treaty of Peace between Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Spain and that the US should formally denounce claim of power over the Philippine Islands. To that note, Senator Tillman took the issue to President William McKinley thus saying:
As though coming at the most favorable time possible, you might say just before the treaty gets to the Senate, it showed in one of our magazines by a poem by Rudyard Kipling, the most important poet of England at this time. This poem, is unique, and in places too deep for me, is a prophecy. I cannot determine that in the history of human race, any poet has ever felt creative so clearly to analyse our duty and our danger.
It is called "The White Man’s Burden." With the consent of Senators I will read one stanza, and I plead the Senators to listen to it, for it is well worth their notice.
