Annexing the Phillipines was controversial. Cooldge Vetoed an independence bill.
I think making the Philippines something akin to a protectorate would be most ideal. Like they can govern themselves, but the USA protects them and gets special economic concessions and basing rights.
I am dubious as to the German Navy's ability to pull this off.
Too, there will be massive international fallout if the US has guaranteed Filipino independence.

Apr 6 1927 - Coolidge vetoed a bill to hold a plebiscite on independence in the Philippines.
Now thats a possible PoD in the time frame I was looking for - does anyone have any knowledge of how this vote could be affected in order to make him not veto it or the bill to pass without intervention ?
So a veto was used - if the referenda had taken place would the Filipinos have picked independance ? If so by what sort of degree.
Also how much interest and control would the USA seek to maintain ?
