Which nation attempted to achieve its independence by going to war with the US?

The Philippines attempted to achieve its independence by going to war with the United States following the Spanish-American War in 1898. After Spain ceded the Philippines to the U.S. under the Treaty of Paris, Filipino leaders declared independence, leading to the Philippine-American War (1899-1902). The conflict arose from resistance to American colonial rule, as Filipinos sought to establish their own sovereign government. Ultimately, the war resulted in the U.S. retaining control over the Philippines until 1946, when the country finally gained full independence.
