wikipedia notes: The Philippine–American War (1899 - 1902) was an armed military conflict between the United States and the Philippines, which arose from the First Philippine Republic struggle against U.S. annexation of the Islands. This conflict is also known as the "Philippine Insurrection" because the U.S. government never recognized the declaration of war by Emilio Aguinaldo.
The war officially ended on July 4, 1902. However, remnants of the Philippine Army, and other resistance groups continued hostilities against American rule until 1913.
