The Filipino people's reaction to American control of the islands was largely negative, as many viewed it as a continuation of colonial rule after the Spanish-American War. This discontent led to the Philippine-American War (1899-1902), where Filipinos fought fiercely for independence. While some Filipinos initially welcomed American presence as a means to modernize the islands, the brutal conflict and subsequent repression fostered widespread resentment towards American authority. Over time, the struggle for autonomy persisted, culminating in a complex relationship with the United States.

Young women were forced to service Japanese soldiers and were called "comfort girls." The American army worked to free the Filipino people and fought battles with the Japanese.
