Philippine-American War Memorial Day 2024: Every year on February 4, people commemorate the Philippine-American War. It may be seen as an extension of the 1899–1901 Philippine Insurrection or the Philippine Revolution against Spanish rule that took place during the Philippine–American War. Still, why did the battle break out? Watch this space to find out.
The Treaty of Paris, which handed Philippine authority from Spain to the United States, marked the end of the Spanish-American War and Spain’s defeat. As a result, the US tried to acquire the Philippines, which prevented it from becoming an independent nation. Naturally, the leaders of the Filipino people, who ruled the whole archipelago save for Manila, struck back.
Between 1899 and 1902, the United States and Filipino rebels fought the Philippine-American War until the United States eventually put an end to the uprising. Although the battle was officially over in 1902, fighting persisted on occasion for many years after that. Except for World War II, the United States maintained complete control over the archipelago until 1946.
