Fought between 1899 and 1902, the Philippine-American War was a military conflict between the United States of America and the First Philippine Republic over the United States' occupation Of the Philippines. Following the Spanish-American War over Cuba, Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States and the Philippine-American conflict arose over the Filipino's fight to retain independence after establishing an independent government.
