Definition1/6
Spain A+
No country granted independence to the Philippines in 1898
although at least one group there declared them independent.
Emilio Aguinaldo, a Filipino general, politician, and
independence leader, declared Philippine independence from Spain in
Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898 and the First Philippine Republic
was established the following year. In the meantime the islands
were ceded by Spain to the United States for US$20 million in the
1898 Treaty of Paris as a result of the Spanish-American War. The
United States never recognized the First Philippine Republic and
the Philippine-American War broke out. It ended with American
control over the islands which were then administered as an insular
area, so the Philippines passed from Spanish Colony to US posession
without anyone granting them independence in between.
In 1935, the Philippines was granted Commonwealth status. There
were plans in the works to grant independence over the next 10
years, but they were disrupted when the Japanese Empire invaded
during World War II. The US finally granted independence on July 4,
1946 after the end of the war.
