Why did the philippine-American war start?

Answer 1

During the 20th century the Philippine-American War was called the "Philippine Insurrection" of 1900. The Philippines were ceded to the US by Spain after their defeat during the Spanish-American War of 1898. US Forces had already been in the Philippines fighting alongside the Philippine citizens against the Spanish. With Spain gone, the US took over and the Philippine people immediately began to resist. Starting in about 1899 the Philippine citizens began to take up arms against the US, by 1900 they were fighting. The revolt was suppressed by 1902.

Answer 2

(1899 - 1902) War between the U.S. and Filipino revolutionaries, which may be seen as a continuation of the Philippines revolution against Spanish rule. The Treaty of Paris (1898), which concluded the Spanish-American war transferred Philippine sovereignty from Spain to the U.S.; but it was not recognized by Filipino leaders, whose troops controlled the entire archipelago except the capital city of Manila. By 1902 U.S. troops had defeated the insurgency, though sporadic fighting continued until 1906. The U.S. retained possession of the islands (except for the Japanese occupation during World War II) until 1946.
