philippine war  

Définition

  • Often portrayed as either a continuation of the conquest of the western frontier or a precursor to Vietnam, the American pacification of the Philippines is more accurately interpreted in the context of the 19th-century wars of imperial conquest. Superior weaponry, training, leadership, and logistics allowed a numerically small Western force to overcome a more numerous but internally divided resistance.
