When And Why did the americans invade the philippines? May 1, 1898. It was the Pacific theater of the Spanish-American War. The Philippines, Guam, Cuba, and Puerto Rico were all occupied as part of the war. The reasons for the war have to do with Cuba, so there is no specific reason why America invaded the Philippines, other than it was part of the Spanish Empire. The reason they stayed in the Philippines and Guam (and fought a very long war with Filipinos to occupy the islands) was to have naval bases in the South Pacific to refuel (America was the only naval power that did not have a base in East Asia.).
The Americans colonized the Philippines for about 33-40 years.
