Provided by the Center for Philippine Studies at the University of Maryland. The Philippines has a long history as an independent nation. Although it had its own government, culture, and language from as early as the 16th century, the Philippines was part of the Spanish Empire until 1898. Once the last Spanish soldier in the country had left the Philippines, American forces landed in San Francisco Bay on September 15, 1898, and the Philippines became a U.S. territory. The American government started to formalize its rule over the Philippines in the years that followed. After an independence movement gained momentum, Filipino Americans played an important role in the independence movement as well as in the struggle for freedom.
