The United States exerted control over the Philippines following the Spanish-American War in 1898, when it defeated Spain and took possession of the islands. This control was solidified through the Treaty of Paris, which ceded the Philippines to the U.S. for $20 million. Subsequently, the U.S. faced resistance from Filipino nationalists, leading to the Philippine-American War (1899-1902), which resulted in U.S. military dominance and the establishment of a colonial government. Over the following years, the U.S. implemented various reforms and infrastructure projects while maintaining political and economic control until granting partial independence in 1934 and full sovereignty in 1946.
