Why Philippines have many islands?

Answer 1

During World War II, the Philippine Islands as a whole were an important battleground for various reasons. The American commitment to this nation's welfare was one reason, while its strategic location in the Pacific Basin served as yet another. The Japanese intention to occupy it as a key military base and source of materials for use on the home-front and in the ongoing war was yet one more reason.

Answer 2

The Philippines is an archipelago with over 7,000 islands due to its location along major tectonic plate boundaries, resulting in volcanic and seismic activities that have shaped its landmass. The country's geography is also influenced by factors such as sea level changes and erosion, contributing to the formation of numerous islands.
