The Philippines became a U.S. colony following the Spanish-American War in 1898, when the United States defeated Spain and acquired the islands as part of the Treaty of Paris. Though there was significant local resistance and a desire for independence, the U.S. government decided to retain control, believing it was their duty to "civilize" the islands. This led to the Philippine-American War from 1899 to 1902, which resulted in the U.S. establishing colonial rule over the Philippines, lasting until the country gained independence in 1946.
