The Spanish naval forces in Manila, Philippines were annihilated by the American fleet. Spanish forces on Cuba were defeated. The results were that Cuba and the Philippines were freed from Spanish rule. Cuba became independent in 1902, while the Philippines became an American protectorate, becoming independent after World War II.
The Japanese successfully invaded the Philippines. Three years later the Allied Forces arrived and defeated the Japanese in the Philippines.
The Spanish forces in the Philippines were overthrown primarily during the Philippine Revolution, which began in 1896, fueled by nationalist sentiments and the desire for independence. Key figures like Andrés Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo led the fight against Spanish colonial rule, culminating in the declaration of Philippine independence on June 12, 1898. The Spanish-American War further weakened Spanish control, as the United States defeated Spain in May 1898, leading to the Treaty of Paris, which ceded the Philippines to the U.S. Ultimately, the combination of local revolutionary efforts and external military intervention resulted in the overthrow of Spanish forces.
