The Philippines rebelled against the United States primarily due to the desire for independence after the Spanish-American War, where the U.S. took control of the Philippines. Filipinos had anticipated self-governance following the defeat of Spain, but instead, they faced American colonial rule, which sparked widespread discontent. This led to the Philippine-American War (1899-1902), as Filipinos sought to assert their sovereignty and resist foreign domination. The conflict was driven by a mix of national pride and a strong desire for self-determination.
