The American-Filipino War (feb 4, 1899 – jul 4, 1902)

Description:

The American-Filipino War lasted from 1899 to 1902 between the U.S. and Filipino fighters.

After the U.S. took control of the Philippines from Spain in 1898, Filipinos wanted independence and fought against the U.S.

The U.S. defeated the Filipino forces by 1902, though some fighting continued.

The war marked the U.S. becoming a colonial power and the Philippines stayed a U.S. colony until 1946.
