The Philippines
The Philippines was controlled by the US as a colony from 1898 to 1946. It began when the Philippines was ceded by Spain to the US following the Spanish-American War. The US then established military control over the islands and eventually implemented a civil government. Full independence was granted in 1946.
The Declaration of Independence
July 04, 1946
The U.S. granted independence to the Philippines on July 4, 1946.Woodrow Wilson entered the presidency with his foreign affairs approach of Moral Diplomacy. He opposed imperialism, the "big-stick" policy of T Roosevelt, and the Dollar Diplomacy of Taft. Part of this meant righting past wrongs. In 1916, the US passed the Jones Act, which set the Philippines up for independence. Later in 1934, the US finally passed the Tydings-McDuffie Act which said that (1) on 1946, they would have their independence and (2) the US would gradually remove their military from the islands. Even though the US was still nominally in control of the territory, it elected a president under a new constitution in 1935. The date they received independence from the U.S. is July 4, 1946.
Most of the European settled America was a colony of the United Kingdom, by the time of independence. A large portion was controlled by Mexico in the Southern states and France and Britain in the North East.
