The Spanish introduced the concept of European civilization, including European style politics, to the Philippines when they began expanding into the nation. Prior to the Spanish, the Philippines were not a unified country and had a well developed process of politics and war among the various states that controlled the islands. The particular style of politics and government now seen in the Philippines is derived from US style government and politics. The US controlled the Philippines from about 1903 and imposed many elements of the US Constitution and governmental style on the country. Prior to WW2 a date for Philippine independence had been set and a Commonwealth government established with increasing local control of all governmental functions.
