The Battle of Leyte took place from October 17, 1944 to July 1, 1945. The result of the battle was a decisive victory for the Allies against the Axis Powers.

It is nothing short of miraculous that the Americans won the battle. Admiral Halsey had been successfully lured away with his modern battleships, carriers, and cruisers, by Admiral Ozawa's decoy force, leaving Admirals Sprague's jeep carriers and Admiral Oldendorf's elderly battleships to fight the battle. The IJN had the superior firepower in this, the largest sea battle in history, yet somehow the USN won it.

Largest naval battle in history.

Mindanao in the Philippines is home to the Muslim minority group known as the Moro people. They have a unique historical and cultural background, with some members of their ruling class having traditional titles and roles within their communities. While there may not be an official Muslim royalty system in Mindanao like in other parts of the world, there are still families who hold influence and leadership positions based on their history and connections within the Moro community.

They were extremely brave and assisted the British Empire in pushing back Germany- the foe.

If you're going to take a plane it would cost around 2000-4400. ( Cebu, Air Phil, PAL )

If you will ride on ship, you will spend 1400 for economy class, 2100-2700 for cabin or business class and 2800-4200 for suit room. Just ride on a ship if you're not in a hurry.

A LARGE CITY CAN HAVE AS MANY AS 10,000 INTERSECTIONS. MULTIPLY THIS TIMES ROUGHLY EIGHT AND IT IS CONCIEVABLE THAT A CITY SUCH AS LOS ANGELES OR HOUSTON COULD HAVE 80 THOUSAND TRAFFIC SIGNALS HANGING IN THEIR INTERSECTIONS. MULTIPLY THAT TIMES THREE AND THATS 240 THOUSAND LIGHT BULBS. ADD IN THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND PEDESTRIAN LIGHTS AND YOU APPROACH A MILLION LIGHTS OR MORE!

(AND YOU THOUGHT YOUR ELECTRIC BILL WAS HIGH). LOL

Absolutely! The Filipinos dreamed to achieve inependence from the harsh Spanish rule at that time.Spanish rule on the Philippines was briefly interrupted in 1762, when British troops occupied Manila as a result of Spain's entry into the Seven Years' War. The Treaty of Paris of 1763 restored Spanish rule and in 1764 the British left the country fearing another costly war with Spain. The brief British occupation weakened Spain's grip on power and sparked rebellions and demands for independence.[

In 1781, Governor-General José Basco y Vargas established the Economic Society of Friends of the Country. The Philippines by this time was administered directly from Spain. Developments in and out of the country helped to bring new ideas to the Philippines. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 cut travel time to Spain. This prompted the rise of the ilustrados, an enlightened Filipino upper class, since many young Filipinos were able to study in Europe. Enlightened by the Propaganda Movement to the injustices of the Spanish colonial government and the "frailocracy", the ilustrados originally clamored for adequate representation to the Spanish Cortes and later for independence. José Rizal, the most celebrated intellectual and radical illustrado of the era, wrote the novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, which greatly inspired the movement for independence.[8] The Katipunan, a secret society whose primary purpose was that of overthrowing Spanish rule in the Philippines, was founded by Andrés Bonifacio who became its Supremo (leader).

An early flag of the Filipino revolutionaries

The Philippine Revolution began in 1896. Rizal was implicated in the outbreak of the revolution and executed for treason in 1896. The Katipunan in Cavite split into two groups, Magdiwang, led by Mariano Alvarez (a relative of Bonifacio's by marriage), and Magdalo, led by Emilio Aguinaldo. Leadership conflicts between Bonifacio and Aguinaldo culminated in the execution or assassination of the former by the latter's soldiers. Aguinaldo agreed to a truce with the Pact of Biak-na-Bato and Aguinaldo and his fellow revolutionaries were exiled to Hong Kong. Not all the revolutionary generals complied with the agreement. One, General Francisco Makabulos, established a Central Executive Committee to serve as the interim government until a more suitable one was created. Armed conflicts resumed, this time coming from almost every province in Spanish-governed Philippines.

In 1898, as conflicts continued in the Philppines, the USS Maine, having been sent to Cuba because of U.S. concerns for the safety of its citizens during an ongoing Cuban revolution, exploded and sank in Havana harbor. This event precipitated the Spanish-American war.[11] After Commodore George Dewey defeated the Spanish squadron at Manila, the U.S. invited Aguinaldo to return to the Philippines, which he did on May 19, 1898, in the hope he would rally Filipinos against the Spanish colonial government. By the time U.S. land forces had arrived, the Filipinos had taken control of the entire island of Luzon, except for the walled city of Intramuros. On June 12, 1898, Aguinaldo declared the independence of the Philippines in Kawit, Cavite, establishing the First Philippine Republic under Asia's first democratic constitution.[8] Simultaneously, a German squadron arrived in Manila and declared that if the United States did not seize the Philippines as a colonial possession, Germany would. In the Battle of Manila, the United States captured the city from the Spanish after the Filipino forces had cordoned off the city. The Spanish forces surrendered instead to the Americans. This battle marked an end of Filipino-American collaboration, as Filipino forces were prevented from entering the captured city of Manila, an action deeply resented by the Filipinos.[12] Spain and the United States sent commissioners to Paris to draw up the terms of the Treaty of Paris which ended the Spanish-American War. The Filipino representative, Felipe Agoncillo, was excluded from sessions as the revolutionary government was not recognized by the family of nations.[12] Although there was substantial domestic opposition, the United States decided neither to return the Philippines to Spain, nor to allow Germany to annex the Philippines. In addition to Guam and Puerto Rico, Spain was forced in the negotiations to hand over the Philippines to the U.S. in exchange for US$20,000,000.00,[13] which the U.S. later claimed to be a "gift" from Spain.[14] The first Philippine Republic rebelled against the U.S. occupation, resulting in the Philippine-American War (1899-1913).
