Answer to Question #205974 in History for Farinah

Question

what was the reaction of the Filipinos when the Americans decided to take over the Philippines from Spain?

Answer 1

Filipinos opposed the United States' possession of the Philippines from Spain, which led to the Philippine-American War from 1899 to 1902. Just two days after Spain ceded its colony of the Philippines in the Treaty of Paris, fighting broke out between Filipino nationalists and American forces. The Filipino fights were led by Emilio Aguinaldo and sought to achieve independence rather than a change in imperial rulers.
