The Philippine-American War (1899–1902) was a brutal and largely forgotten conflict that killed over 200,000 Filipinos and marked America’s transformation into a colonial empire. Born from the Spanish-American War, it began after the U.S. took control of the Philippines—despite earlier promises of supporting independence—leading Filipino revolutionaries who had just defeated Spain to fight against a new occupier. What followed was a devastating counterinsurgency campaign: villages burned, civilians starved, prisoners tortured, and entire regions destroyed. While imperialists justified conquest as a “civilizing mission,” critics like Mark Twain and Andrew Carnegie condemned it as a betrayal of American ideals. Yet, despite its massive human cost and its deep implications for U.S. foreign policy, the war is scarcely taught in American schools. This omission reflects a broader discomfort with confronting America’s imperial past—a silence that hides lessons about nationalism, racism, and the recurring patterns of military intervention that have shaped U.S. history ever since.
