Backgriound:The Philippines were ceded by Spain to the US
in 1898 following the Spanish-American War. They attained
their independence in 1946 after being occupied by the
Japanese in World War II. The 21-year rule of Ferdinand MARCOS
ended in 1986 when a widespread popular rebellion forced him
into exile. In 1992, the US closed down its last military
bases on the islands. A quarter-century-old guerrilla war with
Muslim separatists on the island of Mindanao, which had
claimed 120,000 lives, ended with a treaty in 1996. |
