John M. Gates, one of the foremost experts on the Philippine Insurrection, claims that the conflict was a “war of conquest” from the U.S. point of view and a “people’s war of prolonged guerrilla struggle.” However, he goes on to state that the Filipinos were not insurgents.
The oldest name for the conflict is the Philippine Insurrection, reflecting the legal status of the country as a colonial possession of the United States.
The basic tactics, developed on the frontier, were initially applied to the fighting in the Philippines. While the Army with this experienced core of officers and sergeants used the same basic Indian fighting methods in the Philippines, it ultimately discovered the ineffectiveness of these methods in the new environment.

Formal US colonization outside North America began during the administration of William McKinley, with the Spanish-American War of 1898 and the seizure of Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam, and the unrelated annexation of Hawaii.
The Philippines became a U.S. colony in the fashion of Europe's New Imperialism, with benevolent colonial practices.
The independence movement was not subjugated until 1913, after 4,000 Americans and 250,000 Filipinos had died, a conflict in which the Philippines failed to achieve their desired independence and remained under US or Japanese rule until after WWII.

 Las Vegas SUN: Philippine independence: Is the real story told in U.S.?
Today is the 102nd anniversary of Philippine independence from Spain and a day for many Filipinos to reflect once again upon how this subject is portrayed in American history books as opposed to their own knowledge.
The fight for independence has been institutionalized in Western mainstream thinking as the "Philippine Insurrection of 1899." This has become a forgotten war that involved at its height 70,000 U.S. troops and the killing of 200,000 to 500,000 Filipino civilians, depending on whose account you read.
Thus began the "Philippine Insurrection of 1899." This prompted the ratification of the Treaty of Paris on Feb. 6, 1899, with a two-thirds majority vote on the tie-breaking ballot of Vice President Garret Hobart.

 John M. Gates, Ch. 3, The Pacification of the Philippines - Title
Pitted against the Philippine revolution in the beginning was the waning power of imperial Spain, a nation that some 300 years earlier had been the strongest in Western Europe but by the end of the nineteenth century had been in a period of decline for over a century.
Although tensions within the revolution were heightened by the American presence, one important division in Philippine society was masked by it, that between liberal revolutionaries seeking to enhance their political and economic power in a modernizing Philippine state and peasants longing for the stability and continuity of traditional village life.
In the Philippines such responses had begun long before the revolt against Spain, and they continued long after the revolutionary leaders of 1896 and 1898 had joined with the Americans in the administration of the colonial government.

 U.S. Government Must Officially Apologize for Atrocities in Philippine-American War   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
