No European country controlled the Philippines in 1914. Spain controlled the Philippines until the Spanish-American War in 1898. After this, the United States controlled the Philippines until Japan seized them during World War II.
World War II in the Philippines officially ended on July 4, 1946, when the country was granted independence from the United States. However, the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation began with the Battle of Leyte in October 1944 and culminated with the recapture of Manila in March 1945. The formal surrender of Japanese forces occurred on August 15, 1945, following Japan's overall surrender in World War II.
During World War II, approximately 200,000 American soldiers were captured and became prisoners of war (POWs). However, the number of those who officially surrendered is not precisely documented, as many soldiers were captured during battles rather than formally surrendering. The most notable event of mass surrender occurred during the fall of Bataan in 1942, where thousands of American and Filipino troops were captured by Japanese forces.
At the time of the First Wold War, the Philippines were an American colony.
The Philippines had no formal military units in world war 1. They had a force of about 25,000 people who never actually saw action. The only Philippians to serve were part of other military forces (mainly as part of the American Expeditionary Forces to Europe) during the later stages of the war.
Europe did not surrender during WW2.
The American colonization of the Philippines lasted between 1898 and 1946. American gained control of the Philippines with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. After World War II, America gave the Philippines their independence.
The Philippines were important to the US during the Second World War. During which, America used the placement of the Philippines to combat Japan in it's Pacific Ocean quest. Afterward, it granted the Philippines independence from its control acquired in the Spanish-American War.
