Rebellion in the Philippines-Culture-Kelsie Hewitt


Emilio Aguinaldo had called the Americans decision to annex his homeland a “violent and aggressive seizure” and had his troops attack American soldiers. This mini war lasted for around three long years. Near 126,000 soldiers from America were sent to the Philippines to fight this war.
In the aftermath of this, 4,300, American soldiers had lost their lives. They died from a mixture of combat and disease from the foreign land.  When the death amount of the Filipinos was added up, they had come to realized that 50,000 to 200,000 Filipinos had died in this war.
