How did the Philippines became a us colony?

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.


What 3 events caused or led to US control over the Philippines?

The U.S. control over the Philippines was primarily influenced by the Spanish-American War in 1898, during which the U.S. defeated Spain and acquired the Philippines as a territory. The subsequent Treaty of Paris, signed in December 1898, formalized this acquisition. Additionally, the Philippine-American War (1899-1902) was fought as Filipino nationalists sought independence, but U.S. military dominance ultimately solidified American control over the islands. These events collectively established the Philippines as an American colony.
