If you want to discover the captivating history of the Philippine–American War between 1899–1902, then keep reading...
Free History BONUS Inside!
The Philippine-American War of 1899–1902 was a dramatic, world-changing conflict that shaped the century to come and revealed the early stirrings of America’s drive for global power. The conflict and its aftershocks continue to influence the Philippines and the wider region to this day, leaving a legacy of governance, society, and economic organization.
The Philippines today is an important American ally and a counterbalance to the growing Chinese power in South Asia, but the history between the United States and the Philippines has not always been as friendly as some may imagine—in fact, American-Filipino history is soaked in blood and defined by brutal, devastating combat.
The Philippine-American War is, perhaps, something that many Americans and Filipinos would like to forget about, particularly in light of Filipino-American cooperation against the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in the Second World War, but it’s vital to study and understand the Philippine-American War in order to see a clear picture of what led to the world we know today and comprehend the scale of imperialism and military conquest that has defined the past centuries.
In The Philippine–American War (1899–1902): A Captivating Guide to the Philippine Insurrection That Started When the United States of America Claimed Possession of the Philippines after the Spanish–American War, you will discover topics such as

I enjoy the Captivating history series. Usually I read one of the books about a topic I don't know very well. They are well written, readable and short and this book is certainly one I would recommend. This is a topic I know very well and it really helps to know the geography of the Philippines. Anyway read it especially if you have never heard of the Philippine American War or you know little of the United States venture into colonialism. As an American who was born and raised in the Philippines (circa 1954 to 1971) and who has a great deal of interest and background in history I had a special interest in finding a clear, concise and short presentation of this subject.

Sketchy summary of the war that resulted from America’s broken promise to support Philippine independence after chasing Spain from the islands during the Spanish-American War. Sad, but not unexpected, situation, given how the US wanted the islands as means into an Asian presence and was willing to invoke the racist “help our childlike brown brother to become an American-like adult” rule, used again more than once. Anyway, it wasn’t until 1946 that the islands gained their independence. OK book, but less than I expected.

Good introduction to the topic, but the books in this series tend to focus heavily on the dates and locations of events, rather than providing any context for the conflict or characterization of the people driving these events.

mr. captivating is a low quality writer relying mostly on online sources to quickly produce a low quality product.

I knew that Philippine independence did not come as
soon as the Spanish / American War ended or as soon as
the Philippine people , but I was pretty much ignorant of
our war against Philippine independence.
