The US took control of the Philippines from Spain after the Spanish-American war (1898), and used its military to put down several revolts by the Filipinos. American interests controlled much of the industry and trade with the islands during the first half of the 20th century.

Between World War I and World War II, the US forces were greatly reduced and thus unable to prevent the Japanese occupation in 1942.
The Unites States exerted control over the Philippines. This includes using money because the United States puts a lot into the country economies. There is also a military presence in the country from the US.

How did the US exert control of the Philippines?

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.
