What was the philippine-American war strategies?
To pacify the "insurgents" as the American press called them, although they were in acuality--Filipino "revolutionaries", who were continuing to fight for their independence and had already created their own constitution and inaugurated their own President, declaring their independence in 1898. This was short-lived, as Americans decided to take over the ruling over the Filipinos where Spain left off. Although Americans and Filipinos were once friends during the Spanish-American War, they became embroiled in a battle for independence vs. control over the Philippines. Water torture was invented by Americans in the Philippines, and thousands of Filipinos massacred by the Americans. The Americans also invented the Colt 45 during the Philippine-American War because their normal firearms couldn't stop the Filipino revolutionary. When the Spaniards were cleared from the Philippines during the Spanish-American War, instead of giving the Philippines their independence as they did to Cuba, Americans decide to exercise "manifest destiny" and "rule" over the Philippines instead, torturing Filipinos just as the Spaniards did. Doing so, would make the Philippines the first "colony" ruled by America outside the U.S. Filipino revolutionaries, including the 1st Filipino President, Emilio Aguinaldo, fought against American rule, and thus the Philippine-American War ensued, which lasted far longer than the Spanish-American War, approx. 15 years when extended wars are included. Spaniards occupied the archipelago for approximately 400 years and Americans occupied the Philippines for approximately 100 more years.
