@ph_untoldpast: America’s Brutality in the Philippines Part 3: The Philippine-American War wasn’t liberation—it was catastrophe. Between 1899 and 1902, over 200,000 Filipino civilians died from famine, disease, and scorched-earth tactics. Yet U.S. textbooks barely mention it. Should it be remembered as liberation—or genocide by another name? #philippinehistory #hiddenhistory #philippineamericanwar #colonialhistory #erasedhistory
After its defeat in the Spanish-American War of 1898, Spain ceded its longstanding colony of the Philippines to the United States in the Treaty of Paris. On February 4, 1899, just two days before the U.S. Senate ratified the treaty, fighting broke out between American forces and Filipino nationalists led by Emilio Aguinaldo who sought independence rather than a change in colonial rulers. The ensuing Philippine-American War lasted three years and resulted in the death of over 4,200 American and over 20,000 Filipino combatants. As many as 200,000 Filipino civilians died from violence, famine, and disease. https://history.state.gov/milestones/1899-1913/war
