Philippine–American War
After the end of the Spanish–American War in 1898, the United States invaded the Philippines and colonized it. When the Filipino people resisted, 126,000 U.S. soldiers were sent, killing at least a million people.[1] General J. Franklin Bell estimated that one-sixth of the population on Luzon, the largest island, was killed,[2] and some have even estimated that three million Filipinos were killed.[3]
Marcos dictatorship
The Communist Party of the Philippines was reestablished in 1968 and began a protracted people war against the US-backed dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Marcos suspended habeas corpus in 1971 and declared martial law in 1972. In addition to fighting Maoist rebels, the Marcos regime fought against Moro secessionists led by the Moro National Liberation Front. Marcos was overthrown in 1986.[4]
