The British captured the ports of Manila in the Philippines and Aden in Yemen during their colonial expansion. Manila was taken in 1898 during the Spanish-American War, while Aden was captured in 1839 to secure British trade routes and interests in the region. Both ports played significant roles in enhancing British maritime power and trade.
