The Philippine-American War was a conflict between the United States of America and the First Philippine Republic from 1899 through at least 1902, when the Filipino leadership generally accepted American rule.

After the independence declaration the United States invaded the country. With the surrender of Malvar, the last truly capable general of the Philippine Army, the Filipino fight began to dwindle further. Command changed hands frequently, as each general, one after another, was killed, captured, or surrendered.

The Philippine-American war officially took end in 1901, but there were still sporadic fights up to 1913.

During the war 4,324 American soldiers died, Philippine military deaths are estimated at 20,000 with 16,000 actually counted.
