History notes that the Philippine Islands were a part of the United States from 1898 to 1945.* The islands in this asian archipelago flew the "Star Spangled Banner" for almost half a century. It gained commonwealth status in 1935 and was given independence shortly after WW2. Although existing as a sovereign Republic, it continues to be influenced by the US until today.
*It was officially annexed by the United States in the 1900s. This was a direct result of the Spanish- American War, as stipulated in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, along with other former Spanish colonies of Guam in the Marianas Islands, and Puerto Rico.

The British occupation in 1920, and that was more like an occupation of Manila and I don't exactly know when that ended.
