How was the Philippine-American war costly one for both the Philippines and the US?
"Financially, the cost was borne by the US since the Philippines were part of the US from 1898 until about 1945.
Technically...the Philippine-American war was an INSURRECTION against the US government since they were part of or governed by the United States. However, people today want to be remembered as "war veterans" so they changed the named from "Philippine Insurrection" to "Philippine War" which is technically not correct since there was NO PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT fighting against the US government. It would be like some state (California as an example) fighting against the rest of the United States; however that might really be closer to a "real war" since California HAS A GOVERNMENT (the capital is in Sacramento). The Philippine people had just gotten released from Spain and almost immediately became protectorates under American (US) rule. So there was NO Philippine government...to be at war with!"
Spoken like a true American.
Legitimate answer:
It took three years for America to win the Philippine-American war. It cost the Americans 10,000 casualties and $600 million, 16,000 soldiers were killed, and about 200,000 civilians died of pestilence, disease, and accident.
War crimes committed by the United States Army include the March across Samar and the wanton destruction of a democratically elected government.
It is a globally-accepted fact that it was indeed a war and not an "insurrection" since the Revolutionary Government of Malolos has been a looming entity even before the Spanish-American war. An actually-legitimate state has been formed the moment Commodore George Dewey asked for the aid of the revolutionary leader Emilio Aguinaldo in Hong Kong. Simply put, it could be compared to a scenario where the American Revolution was suddenly crushed by another foreign power that were also fighting the British.
