What happened to the Philippines after its rebellion against annexation failed? A. It gained independence from the U.S b. It became a communist country. C. It gained independence from Spain. D. It became U.S territory
Answer: D. It became U.S territory.
After the Spanish-American War ended, the Treaty of Paris (1898) was signed. This treaty was an agreement between the United States and Spain, where Spain ceded what remained of its empire to the U.S., in particular, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. This greatly increased the power of the United States, marking its beginning as a world power.
