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.
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.
