Question

what happened in the philippines after the united states and spain signed the treaty of paris ending the spanish - american war?
the philippines unsuccessfully requested the us government for immediate statehood.
congress approved the platt amendment, which awarded immediate us citizenship to filipinos.
the united states fought a longer and bloodier war against the filipinos who wanted independence.
the united states helped the philippines write a constitution and set up a democratic government.

Explanation:

After the 1898 Treaty of Paris transferred Philippine control from Spain to the U.S., Filipino nationalists (who had already fought Spain for independence) resisted U.S. rule, sparking the Philippine-American War (1899-1902). This conflict was longer and more costly in lives than the Spanish-American War. The other options are incorrect: the Philippines did not seek immediate statehood, the Platt Amendment applied to Cuba (not the Philippines), and U.S. establishment of a Philippine constitution came later, after suppressing the independence movement.

Answer:

The United States fought a longer and bloodier war against the Filipinos who wanted independence.
