After the Philippines became an American possession following the Spanish-American War in 1898, it experienced significant political and social changes. The U.S. established a colonial government, leading to the Philippine-American War (1899-1902) as Filipinos resisted American rule, seeking independence. The conflict resulted in heavy casualties and eventually the consolidation of American control, introducing reforms in education, infrastructure, and public health. Over time, the Philippines transitioned towards self-governance, culminating in the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1935, though full independence was not achieved until 1946.
