: They occupied the Phillippines
After the Spanish-American War the US required Spain to sell the islands to the US for $20,000,000. There followed a local war called the Philippine-Ameircan War in the Philippines and the Philippine insurrection in the US, in which Filipinos tried to obtain complete independence. The US prevailed and governed the Philippines (except during the Japanese occupation during World War 2) until 1946 when full independence was granted.
