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.

How did the U.S. get the Philippines?

The U.S. acquired the Philippines following the Spanish-American War in 1898. After defeating Spain, the Treaty of Paris was signed in December 1898, which ceded the Philippines to the U.S. for $20 million. This marked the beginning of American colonial rule in the Philippines, which sparked resistance and led to the Philippine-American War from 1899 to 1902. The U.S. established a colonial government, ultimately granting the Philippines independence in 1946.
