what i dislike about this was they portrayed the rise of Philippine republic or Malolos republic like it's a magic, like we just appear and take over when in reality were still fighting but were clearing up the Philippine for smooth take over, to established a legitimate government a "REPUBLIC" ruled by Filipinos and for the Filipinos only no foreign had no rights to rule over us not anyone except us.

The Constitution of the Commonwealth of the Philippines provided for a presidential system of government with a unicameral legislature. It had the power to enact laws for the Philippines, known as Commonwealth Acts, through the National Assembly. The U.S. government granted independence to the Philippines on July 4, 1946. In accordance with the Philippine Independence Act (more popularly known as the "Tydings-McDuffie Act"), President Harry S. Truman issued Proclamation 2695 of July 4, 1946 officially recognizing the independence of the Philippines.

Yo, The Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944 was the largest naval battle in tonnage for sure. But a rival for largest number of participants in a single naval battle is the Battle of Ecnomus in 256BCE during the First Punic War. Anywhere up to 290,000 marines and sailors did stabby time in their fancy leather derps and shiny hats.
Simeón Ola y Arboleda (September 2, 1865 - February 14, 1952) is a hero of the Philippine Revolution and was the last general of the Philippines to surrender to the American forces after the Philippine-American War on Sept. 25, 1903 At least two potential problems surrounded Ola as the last general to surrender to the American forces. First, he had surrendered earlier on July 5, 1901, as an officer (major) of Vito Belarmino. Second, his role as a zone commander is not mentioned in Miguel Malvar's statement on the condition of his command that he provided in December 1901. Nor was any documentation of his commission as general preserved. Though it was said that this was done intentionally to prevent him from being recaptured and to continue the fight using guerilla tactics
You have a nice narrative story about the history of the Philippines

Japan occupied the Philippines as it will cause them trouble when the US imposed oil embargo and the Japanese had their sights in the oil fields of Dutch East Indies today's Indonesia. They also attacked Malay Peninsula aka British and French Indochina aka today Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia.
1. Philippines didn't need to be civilized or christianized. The Spanish colonial government did that beforehand with great success. 2. US government established a legal system based on the American system, i.e. adversarial rather than inquisitorial, and stare decisis for legal jurisprudence, though limitations were evident. We still continue to use Civil Law than Common Law. There were no jury system earnestly established as held US v Dorr, 2 Phil 269, and citing Downes v Bidwell, 182 US 244. 3. Philippines wasn't put on 'a type of territorial government' which denotes that US had never intended to make the Islands a territory, creating a benevolent Federal government. The 1898 Treaty of Paris and the promulgation of Philippine Organic Act expressly state that the Islands are US territory. Never was it mentioned of a gradual independent Philippines. If independence for the Islands were the intent, the wording of the those legal document earlier mentioned would have been similar to that of Cuba. It was only the growing unpopularity of the Occupation by the Americans such as Teddy Roosevelt and Mark Twain, and our Philippine Resident Commissioners to the US Congress did we successfully convince an independent Philippines. 4. The Philippine Commonwealth Army was not just integrated. It was FEDERALIZED by FD Roosevelt in preparation for a war with Japan. ADDENDUM It is fit for US to atleast recognized Filipinos serving in the then Philippine Commonwealth Army, then a FEDERALIZED militia, not just those serving in the Philippine Scouts, what they duly deserve. They have fought bravely and with distinction.

Right on. A lot of Filipinos and fellow Americans too believed the myth that we came to liberate the natives from Spain. What bunk. We were there to take over all the Spanish territories in Caribbean and the Pacific. We should not have granted the Philippines independence and kept it to be a future state. China would never had been a rival like it is now. Nor would they have fallen to communism. But no, the Philippines was devastated second only to Poland in destruction after WW2. So the politicians treated our former territory like a war burden ignoring the thousands of US Army national guardsmen who fought and died there. Also blind siding the statehood movement getting traction by Filipinos.

at 9:44, even though McArthur had personal attachment to their colony Philippines, the agreement/approval to retake Philippines is to cut the Imperial Japan of its SEA supply. the Imperial US' army & navy had on some occasion wherein they didnt meet eye-to-eye. the navy citing risk concern & of course the army could not launch an attack without air cover from the navy

The film "Oppenheimer" was recently released in Japan. Many Japanese didn’t like it. Videos are all over TikTok. In response, some, particularly Americans and Westerners, argue that Japan is the villain in World War II, citing atrocities they committed. (Ever heard of Unit 731? Rape of Nanjing?) Ok. I think it is crucial, first and foremost, for Japan to fully acknowledge the wartime atrocities it committed, atrocities that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions, including an estimated 500,000 Filipinos. Such acknowledgment is a step toward healing wounds and could foster a more peaceful and united Asian community. However, I think it is also important for us to understand the historical roots of Japan's transformation into an empire so that we can avoid these kinds of things from happening again. 📌 For centuries, Japan isolated itself from the rest of the world. This ended in 1853 when the United States FORCED Japan to open up because the country was expanding westward and Japan appeared as a good stopover point for American ships to refuel with coal. They also saw Japan as a potential market for American goods. (Basahin n'yo "Perry Expedition to Japan". U.S. used gunboat diplomacy to force Japan to end their isolation. Kumbaga, parang tinutukan ng baril sa ulo to coerce them na buksan 'yung bansa nila for trade.) 📌 As a result, U.S. forced Japan into signing a series of UNFAIR treaties that gave Western powers privileges like access to their ports and extraterritorial status for Western citizens (exempting them from Japanese laws), and other trade concessions. 📌 These impositions were deeply humiliating for Japan, a nation that prided itself on its culture and history. Japan felt inferior to Western powers. 📌 This led to the Meiji Restoration where Japan strived to modernize and strengthen itself to prevent Western domination. So the country expanded its military and adopted Western technologies, political structures, and even elements of Western dress and culture. 📌 Observing Western powers dividing Asia into colonies for resources and markets, some Japanese leaders saw EMULATION of these powers as a path to becoming a major world power themselves. I’m just sayin’… understanding history reveals who is the true villain in our neighborhood.

It wasnt Hlasey who fought off the Japanese Center Force. He had fallen for their trcik and was chasing the carriers in the Northern decoy force. It was the individual ship commanders who acted on their own to fight off the IJN Center force. Then the US Battleships set a trap for the IJN Soutehrn force and destroyed them in Surigao straight.
I observe something wrong in the part of the Philippines-American War, according to the Generals like Artemio Ricarte that the Philippines Revolutionary Army have guns most are Spanish Mausers and they even was able to buy guns in Hong kong. The problem with First Republic is that it has a standard army, the problem are supplies and strategy. They cannot fight the United States head on that is why it was recommended by Heneral Luna before that they shift to Guerilla Warfare the one that opposed it? It was Mabini who was obssessed with the notion that a Nation should have a standing army. That lead to countless disaster however.

Yeah they have the weapons and supplies but the Army overall was undertrained and undisciplined.
I recommend reading Brian McAllister Linn's book for a better understanding of the Philippine-American War (aka Philippine Insurrection). The First Republic was birthed from Aguinaldo's dictatorship government and was created be elites who didn't represent all the different people of the islands. A government that rather than bringing in like minded people, executed them (such as Bonifacio). This created a situation that made it easy for the Americans to gain the favor of local and regional leaders who were not under Aguinaldo's declared First Republic, which attempted to supplant them with his own chosen people.

I think it's the resources.. but at least filipinos had been freed from slavery from 333 years of Spaniards colony since the United States bought the Philippines from Spain long time ago.. Filipinos should be grateful with that..
The Treaty of Paris (1898) officially ended the period of Spanish colonization in the Philippines and granted possession of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the United States. It also required that the United States pay $20 million USD in recompense to the Spanish government. TThe Battle of Manila (Filipino: Labanan sa Maynila; Spanish: Batalla de Manila), sometimes called the Mock Battle of Manila, was a land engagement which took place in Manila on August 13, 1898, at the end of the Spanish-American War, four months after the decisive victory by Commodore Dewey's President McKinley's statement of benevolent assimilation became his justification for the annexation of Philippines. McKinley cites the intentions of the United States not as a conqueror but one that will help uplift the Filipino peoples.

A lot of commenters are simping for American Imperialism as if the Filipinos weren't already civilized before the Americans took over. The rights of the Filipinos were disrespected and culture erased. This wasn't a "Benevolent Assimilation" it was coerced under duress. Their native language was suppressed and labor exploitation was rampant in the colony. No one should ever be grateful for being colonized. Nations could thrive without foreign takeover.
Initially, before the annexation of the Philippines, many Americans were for the US to become an Empire the way Britain, France, Netherlands, and Spain were. However, the Filipinos fought so hard for their independence. The war became so brutal that the US lost its appetite for conquest. The United States could have took over many of the British and French territories after WW2, but it no longer had those ambitions. The experience in the Philippines was instructive in formulating the policies for the occupation of Germany and Japan.

This was a mistake, but he did it so that conflict wouldn't arise between the two forces which was already getting tense. By this time, the Filipinos are starting to realize that they are being betrayed.

Nobody can read one's inner thoughts especially from the past. What "historians' did was a narrative from maybe an educated guess. No, the anti-Spain Insurgents or Tagalog rebels as it was mainly Tagalog rebels were weak militarily because they lacked sufficient weapons. Go check the composition of their forces. The purpose of any siege in military terms was to avoid heavy casualties because the enemy was strong. The myth that Americans stole victory from the Tagalog rebels had no basis from your historians other than their interpretation. The Philippines was never in effective control by the Katipunan during the Tagalog rebellion other than from the 8 or so provinces Spanish withdrew. Spain may have withdrawn from the 8 Tagalog provinces but Spain still had sovereign rights and effective control of the majority of the islands because the Tagalog rebels or Katipunan self declared government was unrecognized. Spain had every right to dispose of their territory as they saw fit. Spain was losing against Americans. Their resupply was cut off. The Tagalog rebels needed American forces to get effective control by capturing the center of political power, Intramuros, because they cannot do it on their own, and they knew it.

@@uriahthehittite2309 "Spain had every right to dispose of their territory as they saw fit" By the time of the Treaty of Paris of 1898, Spain already surrendered all its territories in Philippines. They had already left. Only the garrison at a Church in Baler was there. If the Philippines was not in control by the Filipinos, the why did the US have to fight the Filipinos to take control for 3 years? The Spanish did not hand over the cities in Iloilo, Cebu, Mindanao, and other towns. They had to land forces all over the Philippines and take them by force. There were battles all over the place. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Battles_of_the_Philippine%E2%80%93American_War Do you believe that the US had the right to govern the Philippines because they had a deal with Spain somewhere in Europe? Trying to understand your position.
Greatest era in PH history.
This is not taught neither in US classrooms nor Filipino classrooms - There is only one person who reached the rank of 5-star general (AKA Field Marshall) ranking in Philippine Army, and take note he is not a Filipino. That person is Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who is also a 5-star general in US Army. It only shows how Filipinos love MacArthur as he did not abandon the Philippines after his retreat during World War II, even in the middle of the war, he lobbied for the liberation of the Philippines in a contrary of suggestion of Admiral Nimitz to attack Formosa (Taiwan).
As an Filipino, my ancestors fought for our independence, and I know that my country was betrayed by the US in the Philippines Revolution, but they help us fought the Spaniards, and if they didn't colonized us, the discovery of technology they give us is going to be much sooner
You did not mention of Dr.Jose Rizal our national hero

@@CCrux-ytthat was an executive order by President Macapagal in 1964. Prior to that it was July 4, 1946 from the USA. Anybody can declare independence but that does not make it real when the supposed independence from Spain was not recognized nor did it cover the entire Philippines. Only the rebelling Tagalog provinces. The Philippines that you inherited was not born from “revolution” but by being granted by the USA.
the "200 civilian casualties" weren't cause by diseases but by direct warfare and civilian casualties cause by diseases, famine and the bad treatment in the concentration camps could be up to 1 million
US and The Philippines fought a vicious war against each other. We both didn't like it and we both decided not to do it again. Together, we fought the Japanese. Since then, we have been brother nations. But, unlike China - Taiwan and Russia - Ukraine, each brother gets his own house.
Japanize didnt believe in surrender but surrendered in WW2
Americans conquered only Luzon and Visayas and not us the Bangsamoro of Mlndanao and Sulu. You can see it in the Treaty of Paris
The Cordilleran Mountain Ranges was not a part of the First Philippine Republic.
0:03 Why is the Spanish flag like this?
They were already Christians. Americans used protestantism to places where catholics are not established like in the Cordilleras, a place Spain influence is strongly resisted. Compared to catholism which is very strict in practicing their beliefs, protestants allow the natives to continue practice their culture and their way of life that's why it is accepted and gradually became Christians as well
I like how when the people of the territory wanted independence, the US government granted it. Can't imagine the same happening in Russia or China for instance.

A great lesson from a mistake. The Golden Rule Really Exist. What we have done is what we will get. Do not do unto others if you do not want to do unto you.

$ 20 million in 1898 is equivalent to $755 million dollars today. It is still a bargain occupying the P. I.
The title should've been the Philippines under the American Empire.
You know what, if i were McKinley, i would just help and assist Philippines instead of colonizing them i mean it colonizing them wasn't necessary tbh.
Eversince America are our Knight in Shining Armour. Filipinos loved most are the Spanish America. They are already a part of our History. However they're not the only people who helped us and part of the Philippine History. Aldo our Japanese, Korean of any other nations had been.part of our history. During World war. The Japanese and american has commenced a history. But most of our inheritance were a blood line already of our Spanish British Americans likewise. For fishing were part of Brithishjob as they invades our people. Thus, fishing as original Ed from our inheritance. When. The war were triggered due to misunderstanding. Filipinos were standing the mids aming American Japan wars..The fact, many has been a blood line of Both country who stayed here. Thus, instead of letting them fight. Our old folks hides every blood to undergrounds when seeing them. Filipinos were so alert and vigilant so that encountered among them never wins. Filipinos loved them all. Both japanese and Americans were under the care of our Filipino people. We don't want war . That's why per our foreparents proclamations. They better help than to allow them to fight with each other. Thus, there was no big resistance happened. Until otherwise when traitors comes out . Thus, the highlights of wars started.yet, American loved us through their protection we were saved. Until such time the Japanese had surrendered to them. So the relationships among us still continues.
I thought independence day was jun 12 1946
A lot of country hating on US..but the US made the Pinoy Americans the most 2nd successful race after Indians,here... US really loved Pinoys...and a lot of Pinoys served US navy and military..friends forever and protector against China
I CAN'T BELIEVE I MEMORIZED ALL THESE TREATIES AND PEOPLE DURING MY ELEMENTARY DAYS HAHA
LONG LIVE the REPUBLIC of the PHILIPPINES. WV4GAA OEF HOOAH!!! MABUHAY!!
Macarthur time in Philippines can be written as genocidal....he is the emperor and there is no court...
US commandos and their native followers scared the crap out of the occupiers, especially in Mindanao
2:20 It seems concentration camps was an American implementation even before World War 2
We could have been the 51st US state but the oligarchs doesn't want that and now we keep asking help from the Americans.. the irony.
