The Filipino-American War (1899-1902) resulted in the Philippines becoming a territory of the United States after the defeat of Filipino forces seeking independence from Spanish rule. The conflict led to significant loss of life and widespread destruction, with estimates of Filipino casualties ranging from 200,000 to 1 million. The war established U.S. colonial authority, but it also fueled a strong nationalist movement in the Philippines, ultimately leading to eventual independence in 1946. The legacy of the war continues to shape U.S.-Philippine relations and discussions on colonialism and sovereignty.
