While all the people of the Philippines did not act homogeneously, many Filipinos hated the idea of being acquired by the Americans after the Spanish-American War in 1898. The Filipinos had been fighting against Spanish colonial rule for years, and they thought that they should gain their independence. The leader of these rebels, Emilio Aguinaldo, thought that he should be president of the new nation and even thought that he had a deal with the Americans to make him such after the war. When the war ended and it appeared as though Aguinaldo would not get his nation, he turned against the Americans. The Filipino War lasted from 1898 to 1902 and killed more Americans than the Spanish-American War. Both sides committed atrocities, and Aguinaldo's forces attacked both Americans and Filipinos who tried to help the outsiders. Aguinaldo also had to fight Filipino leaders who also wanted to be the first president of the Philippines. The war ended only after Aguinaldo's capture. There would continue to be a Filipino independence movement in the country until independence was granted after World War II.
