What is a description of the battle between Spain and the US near the Philippines in World War 2?
The only time Spain and the US have fought anywhere was during the Spanish-American War of 1898, not during WWII, which was more than forty years later. In 1898 the Philippines had been a Spanish colony for more than 300 years.

The Spanish Fleet was completely destroyed, there were no Americans killed or wounded, and the Philippines were no longer a Spanish colony, but an American colony.

Explorers from which country landed in the Philippines in 1521 and later established a permanent colony in 1565?
The Spanish were the first Europeans to explore and colonize the Philippines. In 1521, the expedition of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer sailing under the flag of Spain, arrived in the Philippines. Magellan and his crew were the first Europeans to set foot in the country. They were met with hostility from native Filipinos, and Magellan was killed in a battle on the island of Mactan. Nonetheless, the Spanish continued to explore and colonize the Philippines. In 1565, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, a Spanish explorer, established a permanent colony in the Philippines. This was the first Spanish settlement in the country, and was located in the city of Cebu. The Spanish had a lasting impact on the Philippines. Their arrival brought with them Catholicism, which is still the primary religion in the country today. The Spanish also introduced new foods, new plants, and new animals to the islands, and they brought advanced agricultural techniques to the natives. The Spanish colonization of the Philippines lasted for more than 300 years, and lasted until 1898, when the Spanish were defeated by the United States in the Spanish-American War. The United States then colonized the Philippines until 1946, when the country gained its independence.
