The Philippine-American WarThis conflict is also known as the 'Philippine Insurrection'.

Origins of the war
In December 1898, the U.S. purchased the Philippines and other territories from Spain at the Treaty of Paris for the sum of $20 million (USD), after the U.S. defeated Spain in the Spanish-American War. The U.S. government made plans to make the Philippines an American colony. However, the Filipinos, fighting for their independence from Spain had already declared their independence on June 12, 1898. On August 14, 1898, 11,000 American ground troops were sent to occupy the Philippines.
