As a Filipino American born in USA, thank you for posting this history for all Americans to watch. This was not taught much in my history classes, it was glossed over. Revolutionary war, Civil war, ww2, and Vietnam war got all the coverage

Mcarthur's promise line when he fled "I shall return" is written in our history books

They were already Christians. They were roman catholic thanks to the Spanish empire

It’s sad that most Americans don’t even know that the Philippines was in fact an Americann territory at one point and it’s sad that it’s not taught that much in school

I love these videos. So much information and one of the best ways to learn history and geography.

Been waiting for this

actually the Philippine army of the 1st republic had guns given aid by america before against spain problem is the president aguinaldo camp have internal power struggles ended gen lunas death the only general they had that can go head to head with Gen Arthur MacArthur and gen otis

Wow... You've gathered much info for this. Kudos for you 👏👏👏👏👏

The Constitution of the Commonwealth of the Philippines provided for a presidential system of government with a unicameral legislature. It had the power to enact laws for the Philippines, known as Commonwealth Acts, through the National Assembly. The U.S. government granted independence to the Philippines on July 4, 1946. In accordance with the Philippine Independence Act (more popularly known as the "Tydings-McDuffie Act"), President Harry S. Truman issued Proclamation 2695 of July 4, 1946 officially recognizing the independence of the Philippines.

You have a nice narrative story about the history of the Philippines

Yo, The Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944 was the largest naval battle in tonnage for sure. But a rival for largest number of participants in a single naval battle is the Battle of Ecnomus in 256BCE during the First Punic War. Anywhere up to 290,000 marines and sailors did stabby time in their fancy leather derps and shiny hats.

1. Philippines didn't need to be civilized or christianized. The Spanish colonial government did that beforehand with great success. 2. US government established a legal system based on the American system, i.e. adversarial rather than inquisitorial, and stare decisis for legal jurisprudence, though limitations were evident. We still continue to use Civil Law than Common Law. There were no jury system earnestly established as held US v Dorr, 2 Phil 269, and citing Downes v Bidwell, 182 US 244. 3. Philippines wasn't put on 'a type of territorial government' which denotes that US had never intended to make the Islands a territory, creating a benevolent Federal government. The 1898 Treaty of Paris and the promulgation of Philippine Organic Act expressly state that the Islands are US territory. Never was it mentioned of a gradual independent Philippines. If independence for the Islands were the intent, the wording of the those legal document earlier mentioned would have been similar to that of Cuba. It was only the growing unpopularity of the Occupation by the Americans such as Teddy Roosevelt and Mark Twain, and our Philippine Resident Commissioners to the US Congress did we successfully convince an independent Philippines. 4. The Philippine Commonwealth Army was not just integrated. It was FEDERALIZED by FD Roosevelt in preparation for a war with Japan. ADDENDUM It is fit for US to atleast recognized Filipinos serving in the then Philippine Commonwealth Army, then a FEDERALIZED militia, not just those serving in the Philippine Scouts, what they duly deserve. They have fought bravely and with distinction.

Wasn't Philippines already Christianized by the time USA showed up?

A lot of country hating on US..but the US made the Pinoy Americans the most 2nd successful race after Indians,here... US really loved Pinoys...and a lot of Pinoys served US navy and military..friends forever and protector against China

My wife is from the Philippines and we have talked about this, so I know some of this history although not all the details like this. Interesting

Kudos to Knowledgia

Thank you for Sharing God bless 😊

Manila is the second most devasted city after WW2. After Warsaw in Poland.

Hence, the Republic of the Philippines (Republika ng Pilipinas). Today, this country faces issues that's why we're not developed yet but I am manifesting for the development of this country. Might take long but we'll get there. Thank you for those people who are not involving themselves in discriminating us Filipinos. Thank you for those who are wishing to travel in the Philippines.

Mentioning McKinley wanted to Christianize the Philippines without mentioning it was majority Catholic for centuries before that leaves out some important context

Simeón Ola y Arboleda (September 2, 1865 - February 14, 1952) is a hero of the Philippine Revolution and was the last general of the Philippines to surrender to the American forces after the Philippine-American War on Sept. 25, 1903 At least two potential problems surrounded Ola as the last general to surrender to the American forces. First, he had surrendered earlier on July 5, 1901, as an officer (major) of Vito Belarmino. Second, his role as a zone commander is not mentioned in Miguel Malvar's statement on the condition of his command that he provided in December 1901. Nor was any documentation of his commission as general preserved. Though it was said that this was done intentionally to prevent him from being recaptured and to continue the fight using guerilla tactics

The Japanese have a good reputation in the Philippines for being courteous, civilized, and having high-technology. And there are Japanese-Philippine friendship signs on some land transportation subway entrances in Manila. It’s hard to imagine that they were dehumanizing the Filipinos during the Japanese-Filipino War.

Today 🇯🇵🇺🇸🇵🇭 is united as one now

This is a major event that needs to be taught in American history in grade school.

After ww1 amd the abandonment of the the anglo japanese alliance, pulling out of the Phillipines would allowed the japanese to fill the vacuum, something they attempted in world war 2

White American man, and listening, learning about this for the first time. May we all continue to move forward and hope for peace and independence for all.

Fellow Filipino here, hope y'all continue this until the modern days

at 9:44, even though McArthur had personal attachment to their colony Philippines, the agreement/approval to retake Philippines is to cut the Imperial Japan of its SEA supply. the Imperial US' army & navy had on some occasion wherein they didnt meet eye-to-eye. the navy citing risk concern & of course the army could not launch an attack without air cover from the navy

What apps do you use for this type of videos ?

Good video, but why did you not mention the actions of the Unites States Forced in the Philippines (USFIP) under Colonel (self-promoted to Brigadier General) Wendell Fertig? A huge part of the reason the Japanese were never able to completely subdue Mindanao was because of the leadership of Col Fertig and his forces.

Thank for this information.😊

Man the Filipino in the Philippines American war was equipped with guns bough form Hong Kong And u said the Filipino were using bow spear well that’s kinda right u see they use bow and spear during the revolution and not the Philippines American war

The film "Oppenheimer" was recently released in Japan. Many Japanese didn’t like it. Videos are all over TikTok. In response, some, particularly Americans and Westerners, argue that Japan is the villain in World War II, citing atrocities they committed. (Ever heard of Unit 731? Rape of Nanjing?) Ok. I think it is crucial, first and foremost, for Japan to fully acknowledge the wartime atrocities it committed, atrocities that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions, including an estimated 500,000 Filipinos. Such acknowledgment is a step toward healing wounds and could foster a more peaceful and united Asian community. However, I think it is also important for us to understand the historical roots of Japan's transformation into an empire so that we can avoid these kinds of things from happening again. 📌 For centuries, Japan isolated itself from the rest of the world. This ended in 1853 when the United States FORCED Japan to open up because the country was expanding westward and Japan appeared as a good stopover point for American ships to refuel with coal. They also saw Japan as a potential market for American goods. (Basahin n'yo "Perry Expedition to Japan". U.S. used gunboat diplomacy to force Japan to end their isolation. Kumbaga, parang tinutukan ng baril sa ulo to coerce them na buksan 'yung bansa nila for trade.) 📌 As a result, U.S. forced Japan into signing a series of UNFAIR treaties that gave Western powers privileges like access to their ports and extraterritorial status for Western citizens (exempting them from Japanese laws), and other trade concessions. 📌 These impositions were deeply humiliating for Japan, a nation that prided itself on its culture and history. Japan felt inferior to Western powers. 📌 This led to the Meiji Restoration where Japan strived to modernize and strengthen itself to prevent Western domination. So the country expanded its military and adopted Western technologies, political structures, and even elements of Western dress and culture. 📌 Observing Western powers dividing Asia into colonies for resources and markets, some Japanese leaders saw EMULATION of these powers as a path to becoming a major world power themselves. I’m just sayin’… understanding history reveals who is the true villain in our neighborhood.

If only Filipinos think like the Japanese , former mortal enemies and nuked twice by US military, yet the BEST US ALLY in the whole world! Abandoned its imperialistic stance, no territories, friendly economic competition, outsourced its massive automobile industry in USA, Canada and other countries including the Philippines providing employment to those countries, and no debt traps! Japan is both an economic ally and military ally- unlike PRC government both an economic FOE and military FOE!

Thank you for this video.

Weren’t they already Christian’s under Spain? I lived there 5 yrs as a kid and noticed they were Catholics like Spain 🇪🇸 not Protestant like most of America 🇺🇸 😊

The answer is not "how" but "why". The US does not want the Philippines. It just wants to use it. Military bases, etc.

Philippines Islang was taken on July 4 after the II world War Independent follow , that’s I know Thanks , We respect Gen MacArthur forever ❤🎉

I can't believe we are now in the 5th Philippine Republic. *1st Republic (1899 - following the 1896 Revolution and Independence from Spain) *Commonwealth of the Philippines (1935 During American Colonization) *2nd Republic (1942 - aka Japanese Sponsored Republic / Puppet Republic- WWII) *3rd Republic (1946 - Philippine Independence from USA) *4th Republic (1981 following Martial Declaration in 1972) *5th Republic (1986 following the People Power Revolution and ouster of the Marcos Dictatorship) We are now in the 19th Congress of the Philippines Yet, we are still going to see real reform and development for this god forsaken country.

the "200 civilian casualties" weren't cause by diseases but by direct warfare and civilian casualties cause by diseases, famine and the bad treatment in the concentration camps could be up to 1 million

What is it with Americans surnamed MacArthur and the Philippines?! Anyhow, the influence of US culture is hard to over emphasise. I recall that until Mt Pinatubo ate it in 1991, the US Clark Air Force Base's presence was such that, like Okinawa in Japan, US cultural rub off was notable. You listen to any local Filipino speak English and the American influence is stark. Cool docco guys. I'm surprised to read in the comments that US Filipinos note that it's not discussed in schools etc.

It wasnt Hlasey who fought off the Japanese Center Force. He had fallen for their trcik and was chasing the carriers in the Northern decoy force. It was the individual ship commanders who acted on their own to fight off the IJN Center force. Then the US Battleships set a trap for the IJN Soutehrn force and destroyed them in Surigao straight.

The Treaty of Paris (1898) officially ended the period of Spanish colonization in the Philippines and granted possession of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the United States. It also required that the United States pay $20 million USD in recompense to the Spanish government. TThe Battle of Manila (Filipino: Labanan sa Maynila; Spanish: Batalla de Manila), sometimes called the Mock Battle of Manila, was a land engagement which took place in Manila on August 13, 1898, at the end of the Spanish-American War, four months after the decisive victory by Commodore Dewey's President McKinley's statement of benevolent assimilation became his justification for the annexation of Philippines. McKinley cites the intentions of the United States not as a conqueror but one that will help uplift the Filipino peoples.

Good video.

Philippines Islands, the 51st state of America(USA).

Incredible.

I observe something wrong in the part of the Philippines-American War, according to the Generals like Artemio Ricarte that the Philippines Revolutionary Army have guns most are Spanish Mausers and they even was able to buy guns in Hong kong. The problem with First Republic is that it has a standard army, the problem are supplies and strategy. They cannot fight the United States head on that is why it was recommended by Heneral Luna before that they shift to Guerilla Warfare the one that opposed it? It was Mabini who was obssessed with the notion that a Nation should have a standing army. That lead to countless disaster however.

I recommend reading Brian McAllister Linn's book for a better understanding of the Philippine-American War (aka Philippine Insurrection). The First Republic was birthed from Aguinaldo's dictatorship government and was created be elites who didn't represent all the different people of the islands. A government that rather than bringing in like minded people, executed them (such as Bonifacio). This created a situation that made it easy for the Americans to gain the favor of local and regional leaders who were not under Aguinaldo's declared First Republic, which attempted to supplant them with his own chosen people.

Its a shame he didnt add some battles that occurs and the brutality of the war Aguinaldo didnt declare war on june it was on the 4th of february when the american had the first shot The first republic did had a good general during the war General Antonio luna though he was killed by aguinaldo's men

This is the western military industrial complex version of history. The eras of conquest cast a bloody shadow

I remember my mother saying that my grand father his father is one of the survivor of bataan death march that time.

I just want to make some corrections and add some facts to your video: 1. The Philippines was only ever a republic once after the US granted it independence in 1946. Aguinoldo's faction declared the Philippines free in 1899 but no legitimate power recognized it. But plenty of important powers recognized America's right to rule the region. 2. The Filipino insurgents were not united during their rebellion against the US and a huge factor for the US being able to insert control. There were several competing insurgent factions and none of them wanted to share power with one another. 3. Aguinoldo was a brutal warlord who tyrannized his own people to the point that they betrayed him to the US. He in turn, switched sides and aligned himself with the US as an informant because if he "could not rule the Philippines" then none of his fellow Filipino rivals could. 4. Filipino insurgents did as much scorch earth tactics as the Americans did which resulted to thousands of civilians dying too.

I think it's the resources.. but at least filipinos had been freed from slavery from 333 years of Spaniards colony since the United States bought the Philippines from Spain long time ago.. Filipinos should be grateful with that..

After the Spanish American War, the USA main interest in acquiring the Philippines was to keep the Germans out of it. The Germans has their eye on and were wanting to aquire the Philippines, after anticipating an American defeat against the Spanish. But yet you don't mention any of this. Why?

It's hard to know who was right so many years after the fact and with the completely biased histories we tend to get, but I would definitely trust Warren Harding more than Woodrow Wilson...

The Philippine cities and Capital was reduced to rubble after the 2nd world war. It would cost a lot to rebuild therefore it was granted independence.

Many Filipinos want to become Americans. Just look at the continuous population growth of Filipino Americans and constant migration of Filipinos towards the US. Many Filipinos really view the USA as a means for a better life and an escape from poverty. Many view that USA is the best country in the world 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My grandpa's mom is half american. They are based in Olongapo.

Filipinos is way more Christian than the Americans and infact the Filipino's already has a basic ducation and universities introduced by the Spanish.

Aguinaldo had the chance to deliver the pre-emptive strike by invading Intramuros (Manila) while the Americans were still waiting for reinforcements, but his indecisiveness and miscalculations gave US enough time to muster its forces.

Can you show tutorial how to make animation battle

20 mil is a package deal which includes PH, guam and cuba

The American Empire needs to grant independence to Guam and Puerto Rico just like the American Empire granted independence to the Philippines back in 1946ce.

As an Filipino, my ancestors fought for our independence, and I know that my country was betrayed by the US in the Philippines Revolution, but they help us fought the Spaniards, and if they didn't colonized us, the discovery of technology they give us is going to be much sooner

The Land of the free colonizing a country that is just trying to be free from spain

Why can't I watch the Jacobite rising, this video is now for sponsors. You said that sponsors get access to videos before everyone else, but you didn’t say that some videos are exclusively now only for sponsors!😔😭

This is not taught neither in US classrooms nor Filipino classrooms - There is only one person who reached the rank of 5-star general (AKA Field Marshall) ranking in Philippine Army, and take note he is not a Filipino. That person is Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who is also a 5-star general in US Army. It only shows how Filipinos love MacArthur as he did not abandon the Philippines after his retreat during World War II, even in the middle of the war, he lobbied for the liberation of the Philippines in a contrary of suggestion of Admiral Nimitz to attack Formosa (Taiwan).

111k views, but most likely ~95k are from the philippines, most americans won't watch this and thus still won't know about the philippine-american war

They should’ve read about what happened to the native Americans when they rebelled

We rebelled against the Spaniards and won. Declaring independence day by the short lived First Philippine republic. But then, the Americans defeated our patriotic heroes. Effect : our Constitution, government, 2nd language, military are influenced by the Americans.

Americans conquered only Luzon and Visayas and not us the Bangsamoro of Mlndanao and Sulu. You can see it in the Treaty of Paris

You did not mention of Dr.Jose Rizal our national hero

Initially, before the annexation of the Philippines, many Americans were for the US to become an Empire the way Britain, France, Netherlands, and Spain were. However, the Filipinos fought so hard for their independence. The war became so brutal that the US lost its appetite for conquest. The United States could have took over many of the British and French territories after WW2, but it no longer had those ambitions. The experience in the Philippines was instructive in formulating the policies for the occupation of Germany and Japan.

AFTER THE AMERICANS LEFT CHINA IS AGREESIVE TOWARDS THE PHILIPPINES. AND IT IS BEC ALSO OF THE LOVE OF EX PRES DUTERTE TO CHINA ❤ PHEW!😢

US and The Philippines fought a vicious war against each other. We both didn't like it and we both decided not to do it again. Together, we fought the Japanese. Since then, we have been brother nations. But, unlike China - Taiwan and Russia - Ukraine, each brother gets his own house.

My Lola lost her first born son while swim on Pampanga river

Yeah, lots of Filipinos still consider Supreme Commander and General McArthur as their hero and liberator. Filipinos are still American at heart. They still haven't shut down ports and air bases. They just made more of them.🤷🏻‍♂️🤣 Also, did you know that the Philippines Islands were given an opportunity to become an American state in 1945. The Filipinos said no. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

The Philippines should be trilingual: English, Tagalog and Spanish Filipinas debería ser trilingue: Ingles, Tagalo y Español Dapat trilingual ang Pilipinas: English, Tagalog at Spanish

The Corregidor is read as "ko-re-hi-dor" Bataan is read as "ba-ta-an"

MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT CHINA AND TAIWAN ALSO HONG KONG 🇭🇰

Japanize didnt believe in surrender but surrendered in WW2

Ba când mai faci video?

Greatest era in PH history.

$ 20 million in 1898 is equivalent to $755 million dollars today. It is still a bargain occupying the P. I.

You know what, if i were McKinley, i would just help and assist Philippines instead of colonizing them i mean it colonizing them wasn't necessary tbh.

Freedom of the Philippines History

So a bunch of people died for nothing. But at least the people who were already from the island got their island back 😵‍💫

But national independence day was transferred to June 12, 1898

alot of proof my country and province palawan

Not only 200,000 but at least 1,000,000 Filipinos were killed by the American forces in response to the challenging Gueriila tactics by the Filipino forces!

Douglas MacArthur is the most underrated commander. Imperial Regent of Japan, Savior at Inchon, liberator of the Phillipines, the red terror's greatest fear, America's Caesar.

@Knowledgia Don't deliberately skew the timeline of events and downplay the audience, whether to create the Filipinos as innocent or a true victim, the presentation stands without any context or written account or a month by month timeline. 3:44 - 4:00

They were already Christians. Americans used protestantism to places where catholics are not established like in the Cordilleras, a place Spain influence is strongly resisted. Compared to catholism which is very strict in practicing their beliefs, protestants allow the natives to continue practice their culture and their way of life that's why it is accepted and gradually became Christians as well

A great lesson from a mistake. The Golden Rule Really Exist. What we have done is what we will get. Do not do unto others if you do not want to do unto you.

We could have been the 51st US state but the oligarchs doesn't want that and now we keep asking help from the Americans.. the irony.

Interesting that the date is 4th of July

Filipinos: "You have freed us" American: "Oh I wouldn't say "freed". More like "under new management""

My great godfather was there

My Lola was been lavadera for japanese.while my lolo fight in taiwan
