Yes, the United States acquired the Philippines as a result of the Spanish-American War in 1898. Following the war, the Treaty of Paris was signed, granting the U.S. control over the Philippines in exchange for $20 million to Spain. This marked the beginning of American colonial rule in the Philippines, which lasted until the country gained independence in 1946.
