Answer:
The conflict between US and the Philippine that lasted from February 4, 1899 to July 2, 1902 is known as Philippine-American War. Although the Filipino nationalities called it struggle for independence, but US government referred to it as a rebellion.
Both American and Filipino soldiers committed atrocities towards each other, they considered Filipino as dogs and killed men, women and children. Several reports informs us that after entering a village the soldiers used to plunder church, houses and use to rob the villagers. They even fired upon those who waved flag for signalling truce. In many cases the Americans retaliated death of their soldiers by burning the town and killing all the natives.
