Marines played a key role in U.S. operations in the Philippines after the Spanish-American War. What started as a campaign to drive out Spanish forces quickly turned into a brutal insurgency, as Filipinos who had fought for independence under Spain now found themselves resisting a new occupying force.
In this episode, we cover the early years of the Philippine-American War. This chapter explores tactical adaptation, challenging terrain, and the persistent reality that occupying conquered ground is far tougher than winning it.
