What country ruled the Philippines for 30years?

The Spanish Empire ruled the Philippines for 300 years, not 30 years. The United States and Britain then occupied the Philippines until World War II. The United States occupation began in 1898 when Spain handed the Philippines over to the United States. The British occupation in 1920, and that was more like an occupation of Manila and I don't exactly know when that ended. Britain occupying the Philippines is not something the average Filipino knows these days, but it did happen; the Philippines was part of the British Empire.

Theory on the origin of Filipino people?

The Filipino people are believed to have originated from a combination of Austronesian, Malay, Chinese, Spanish, and other influences over centuries of trade, migration, and colonization in the Philippines. The Austronesian migration theory suggests that the earliest settlers in the Philippines came from Taiwan around 4,000 to 2,000 BC, bringing with them their language, culture, and agricultural practices. Subsequent waves of migration and trade contributed to the diverse ancestry of the Filipino people today.


What is a description of the battle between Spain and the US near the Philippines in World War 2?

The only time Spain and the US have fought anywhere was during the Spanish-American War of 1898, not during WWII, which was more than forty years later. In 1898 the Philippines had been a Spanish colony for more than 300 years. During the Spanish-American War the US Pacific squadron under Admiral Dewey fought the Spanish Fleet in the Battle of Manila Bay. The Spanish Fleet was completely destroyed, there were no Americans killed or wounded, and the Philippines were no longer a Spanish colony, but an American colony. The Philippines became an independent nation in 1947.


How long did the US colonize the Philippines?

Depending on how you look at the history, the US took control of the Philippines in 1898 with the defeat of the Spanish, in 1899 with the signing of the peace treaty between the US and Spain, or in 1902 with the end of the Philippine Insurrection (Philippine-American War).
