How did the americans react to the growing threat of nuclear war?

I agree with the decision of McKinley.

Explanation:

If I was in McKinley’s position, I would also choose annexation of the Philippines because it is a gift of God by giving the control of Philippines to United states of America. If I would not annexed Philippines, another country will take this advantage so it is better to get this opportunity. It provides a market of American goods and the taxation on the Philippines boost the economy of the United states of America. The main disadvantage of the annexation of the Philippines is to put extra burden on the United states of America because military is needed to control the Philippines and maintain law and order.
