Why did the philippines the united states fight the spanish during the spanish-american war?

-it was trying to assert its independence from spain.
-it was forced to since it was controlled by the united states.
-it believed that would make the united states grant it independence.
-it wanted to make a good impression on the nation that controlled it.

The correct answer is the third one: It believed that helping would make the United States grant it independence.

The Philippine revolution for its independence from Spain started in 1896. Two years later, the Spanish-American war broke out in Cuba, and the Philippines helped the American side in an attempt to seek for the American support in their struggle for independence. That same year, the Philippines declared their independence and established the first Philippine Republic, but when Spain lost the war it ceded Cuba and the Philippines to the United States. For that reason, the Philippines became an American colony until 1946.
