During the Spanish-American War, the Americans helped the Philippines get free from Spain. In 1956, America gave the Philippines their independence.
The US obtained the Philippines by defeating Spain during the Spanish-American War of 1898 (a six month long declared war).
The Spanish surrendered in the Philippines on August 13, 1898, during the Spanish-American War. This surrender took place in Manila after a brief but intense conflict between Spanish forces and American troops. The capitulation marked the end of over three centuries of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. Subsequently, the Philippines came under American control following the Treaty of Paris, signed in December 1898.
