The Philippine–American War, also known as the Philippine War, the Philippine Insurrection and the Tagalog Insurgency[8][9] (Tagalog: Digmaang Pilipino-Amerikano, Spanish: Guerra Filipino-Estadounidense) was an armed conflict between the First Philippine Republic (Spanish: República Filipina, Tagalog: Republikang Pilipino) and the United States from 4 February 1899 to 2 July 1902.[10] This war was an another Filippino continuous fight beginning in 1896 with the successful Philippine Revolution. The cause of the war was because the Philippines opposed many provisions stated in the Treaty of Paris which the United States brought the Philippines from the Spanish Empire, ending the Spanish–American War.[11]
The fight began on 4 February 1898 between the United States and the First Philippine Republic, in the second battle of Manila. On 2 June 1899, the First Philippine Republic officially declared war on the United States.[12][13] The war ended on 2 July 1902, with a decisive United States victory. However, Filipino revolutionary groups like the Katipunan continued to fight against the U.S. for several years, one of the leaders were General Macario Sakay, a former veteran of the Katipunan, who was the leader of the Tagalog Republic which was established in 1902 after the arrest of Filipino President Emilio Aguinaldo. Other groups like the Moro people continued to fight in other places until their defeat at the Battle of Bud Bud Bagsak on 15 June 1913.
The war and the United States occupation changed the culture of many islands, because Filipino deaths were around 200–250.000 deaths,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and establishing English in Filipino islands as the official language of the government, education, business, infrastructure continued in many decades. The occupation of the Philippines faced severe opposition from the natives which forced the United States to slowly giving the nation independent.
In 1902, the United States Congress passed the Philippine Organic Act to create the Philippine Assembly which members of the Assembly will be elected by the Filipino people.[22] This will be replaced by the 1916 Jones Act which stated the United States' commitment to give the Philippines independence.[23] The Philippine Independence Act of 1934 established the Commonwealth of the Philippines the same year. This was a limited self-governance state, but increasing independence following years (it was set to be 1944. However, it was delayed because of World War II, particularly the Japanese invasion and occupation, combined with the Philippines campaign at the time). The United States gave the Philippines independence in 1946 by withdrawing and recognizing the state's sovereignty following the Treaty of Manila.
Notes
- ↑ The Philippine Republic was de jure dissolved in 1901 when Emilio Aguinaldo surrendered himself to the Americans and announce the Philippine people to lay down their weapons. However, his unofficial successor Miguel Malvar continued the fight without formal recognition of the people until his surrender in 1902.
