Question

What did rebels in the philippines fight against the United States after Spain lost the spanish American war

Answer 1

The rebels were fighting for their independence because the United States did not give it to them. The Philippine's were in a constant struggle to gain independence after the Spanish stopped ruling the country. This led to the Philippine-American War, and even after both wars officially ended, some rebel groups continued to fight American soldiers. Many civilians died from starvation and disease in comparison to warfare deaths and English became the national language, instead of Spanish.
