The Spanish forces in the Philippines were overthrown primarily during the Philippine Revolution, which began in 1896, fueled by nationalist sentiments and the desire for independence. Key figures like Andrés Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo led the fight against Spanish colonial rule, culminating in the declaration of Philippine independence on June 12, 1898. The Spanish-American War further weakened Spanish control, as the United States defeated Spain in May 1898, leading to the Treaty of Paris, which ceded the Philippines to the U.S. Ultimately, the combination of local revolutionary efforts and external military intervention resulted in the overthrow of Spanish forces.

Dewey was sent to the Philippines to engage and defeat the Spanish navy during the Spanish-American War in 1898. The US wanted to secure their presence in the Pacific by targeting the Spanish forces in the Philippines and establishing control over the region. Dewey's victory in the Battle of Manila Bay played a crucial role in the American conquest of the Philippines.
