Before achieving independence, the Philippines was controlled by several colonial powers. It was a Spanish colony for over 300 years until the Spanish-American War in 1898, after which the United States took control. The Philippines was then governed as an American territory until it gained commonwealth status in 1935. Ultimately, the country achieved full independence on July 4, 1946, after Japanese occupation during World War II.
