After the Spanish forces in Cuba had surrendered during the Spanish-American War, fighting continued briefly in the Philippines. The Philippine-American War erupted in 1899 following the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Spanish-American War and transferred control of the Philippines from Spain to the United States.
Filipino nationalists, led by Emilio Aguinaldo, had been fighting for independence from Spanish colonial rule before the Spanish-American War. However, with the Treaty of Paris, the Philippines was ceded to the United States, leading to the outbreak of hostilities between Filipino revolutionaries and American forces. This conflict lasted until 1902, with the United States eventually suppressing the Filipino resistance and establishing its colonial rule over the Philippines.
