Abstract

A largely overlooked conflict in American history, the Philippine-American War anticipated such wars as the Vietnam conflict, with U.S. troops ill prepared to deal with an enemy using unconventional guerilla tactics. The Philippine-American War began in early 1899, shortly after the defeat of Spain by the United States in the Spanish American War, which resulted in the liberation of the Spanish colony Cuba but the takeover of other colonies by the United States, including Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippine islands.
