Crisis Phase (December 10, 1898-October 31, 1899): The United States government formally

acquired the Philippines from Spain with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10,
1898. The U.S. government declared military rule in the Philippines on December 21, 1898.

Allies, however, soon became enemies. In the Treaty of Paris, the US agreed to annex the
Philippines at the cost of $20 million. Angered by the betrayal, Filipinos declared war. The
Philippine-American War was a bloodier and more brutal affair than its predecessor.

The Filipinos felt betrayed by the U.S. government after the Spanish-American War because the
U.S. told the Filipino people that they were helping them achieve their independence from
Mexico and yet when the war was over the U.S. annexed the Philippines and did not allow them
to have their independence.

The period of American colonialization of the Philippines was 48 years. It began with the cession
of the Philippines to the U.S. by Spain in 1898 and lasted until the U.S. recognition of Philippine
independence in 1946

The Philippines is a treaty ally and an important security partner. Bilateral defense agreements
continue to provide the foundation for the defense relationship and enable critical U.S. military
support, presence, and interoperability.

It began after the United States assumed sovereignty of the Philippines following the defeat of
Spain in the Spanish-American War. Although an end to the insurrection was declared in 1902,
sporadic fighting continued for several years thereafter.

Through its victory, the United States gained a strategically located colonial base for its
commercial and military interests in the Asian-Pacific region. From the beginning, U.S.
presidential administrations had assumed that the Philippines would eventually be granted full
independence

By the time the United States took control of the Manila government in 1899, the Philippines had
been in a state of war for the better part of three years. In 1896, when the Spanish regime refused
long-standing Filipino requests to reform the islands' colonial government, the Philippines
erupted into rebellion.

It all started in the same way. Filipinos hoped for a smooth establishment of their own in 1899.

The republic was crushed when the Treaty of Paris effectively transferred the Philippines to the
United States.

After the Spanish-American War, the United States took possession of the Philippines ("The
Philippines"). Though
