In WWI the Phillipines were a colony of the United States. The US took control (sort of, there were a lot of rebels) after the Spanish-American War in 1898.\n\nNot a lot happened in the Pacific during WWI. Japan (which was on the allied side), as well as Australis and New Zealand snapped up some pacific islands that were German colonies. But if there was any fighting on the islands it was mild.\n\nThere were some engagements between Japanses and German naval forces out there. A few ships went down on each side.\n\nAs far as I can tell (see reference below) nothing directly involved the Phillipines during 1914 - 1918.\n\nOf course World War II was a different matter, it was a major battle ground in the Pacific.

wars?  This coming from someone from the country who perpetrated the most infamous sneak attack in modern age?  The country whose warcrimes in Bataan may have been the most horrific in the 20th century?  and this over a call in a baseball game?  And even after that, a country that after attacking US and subsequently losing the war it had started, benefitting by the US rebuilding their country spending millions in the process.\n\nGet a sense of perspective and don't call out an entire country based on an umpire's ruling.  \n\nUmpires aren't evil, though Empires can be at times.   :)

Nationalism....everyone had a heightend sense of pride in their own nation. It would be easier to bring up soliders for the "great war" since everyone believed their nation to be best and worth fighting for. Also like nations got into alliances and often these alliances got quite tangled and would eventually be seenas probably the one of the main causes for the war. Imperalism....the powers that be in Europe were all competing on the international level for resources, markets, and prestige. The highly hostile and competitive atmosphere because of conflicting interests helped add to a war climate. Militarism... since most of the main powers needed a strong military to be able to exert their imperial dominance, strong militaries were popular during the period. As one nation built up their arms, the others would follow suit in order to avoid the balance of power from tipping to far one way. Each of these causes helped build a foundation for war which was sparked because of the archdukes assination.

Well,  maybe you have forgotten that part of Mindanao (where mostly Muslims reside) wants to become independent from the Philippines . It's a never ending story down there- a never ending war between guerillas and the military.>>> so, not united.

Andres Bonifacio was a great leader at battle, but he used fisical force when fighting, while Jose Rizal used his wit and intelligence to help get the indepence of the Philippines from the Spaniards. I suggest you read the "Noli me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo" so you can find out what moved the hearts of the Filipino people to get the independence.\n\ngood luck.

No. they were sending food, weapons, vehicles, clothing, etc. to the allies before they got in WW1.  Lusitania wasn't just a passenger ship but had those thing inside it.

hi the politial reason for world war to was that germany was getting deapeper and deaper into dept because of the money it had to pay back to england and france because of the first world war. when the plan falied in the usa to get germany right again because of the stock market crash the germans blamed the jews and saw the answer in expantion. this is what hitler called lebons ral or living space. he invaded a few countries but no on cared untill belgium a small country needed to be crossed through to take tettories in france back that were german untill the end of world war 1 when france took them. so when belgium said no to german troops crossing there lines germany invaded anyway and as a result ww2 started. \nsorry about spelling t

I don't think I entirely understand your question, but I've attached links for lists of nations that have embassies in the Philippines.  If you need something more specific, feel free to let me know.

The history of the Philippines begins with the arrival of the first humans in the Philippines by land bridges at least 30,000 years ago. The first recorded visit from the West is the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan on Homonhon Island, southeast of Samar on March 16, 1521. Permanent settlements in the island of Cebu were established with the expedition of Miguel López de Legazpi in 1565, and more settlements continued northward with the colonizers reaching the bay of Manila on the island of Luzon. In Manila they established a new town and thus began an era of Spanish colonization that lasted for more than three centuries.\n\nThe Philippine Revolution against Spain began in April of 1896, culminating two years later with a proclamation of independence and the establishment of the First Philippine Republic. However, the Treaty of Paris, at the end of the Spanish-American War, transferred control of the Philippines to the United States. U.S. colonial rule of the Philippines began in December 1899, with very limited local rule permitted beginning in 1905. Partial autonomy (commonwealth status) was granted in 1935, preparatory to a planned full independence from the United States in 1945. But what was envisioned as a 10-year transition period from a commonwealth to a fully sovereign state was interrupted by the Japanese occupation of the islands during World War II. Full independence was only granted to the Philippines in July 1946-.

The underlying causes of World War I were the intense nationalism that permeated Europe throughout the 19th and into the 20th century, the political and economic rivalry among nations, and the military buildup that occurred after 1871, when Germany emerged as a great world power.\nThe assasination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand was just a match to the powder keg.

They should go where there is a need and wherever it makes sense for them to be. Working in the Philippines often times do not provide enough money to make a decent living, whereas to do the same job in other countries could more than provide for the rest of the family.

Couple of reasons.\n\nFirst, we had closer economic ties to Great Britain.\n\nSecond, Great Britain and France had a better propaganda machine, and made US citizens think of the war in terms of the evil German Empire versus the noble French and English democracies.\n\nThird, the Germans eventually adopted unrestricted submarine warfare in early 1917, which meant that civilian American ships carrying goods to Britain and France were sunk.\n\nFourth, also in early 1917 (January 16), the British interecepted a telegram from the German Empire to the German ambassador in Mexico saying that if Mexico would declare war on theside of Germany and attack the US, they would be rewarded with the return of the terrority Mexico lost in the Mexican-American War. The British promptly gave this information to the US, and combined with the sinking of American ships by German subs, this caused the entry of the US into WWI on the side of the Allies.

1.) This was America's first true colonial war as a world power.\n\n2.) After defeating Spain in Cuba and in the Philippines in 1898, the U.S. purchased the Philippines, Puerto Rico and several other islands from the Spanish.\n\n3.) Following the surrender of the Spanish colonial government in the Philippines to American military forces in August,1898, tensions developed between U.S. and Filipino forces near Manila. The American government decided to keep the Philippines as a colony, thereby denying independence to the Filipino people. Aguinaldo and his army of nearly 80,000 veteran troops realized that their "allies" in the Spanish War would soon become foes.\n\n4.) As early 1899, U.S. and Filipino forces faced off as a tense situation became worse. American forces held the capitol of Manila, while Aguinaldo's army occupied a trench-line surrounding the city.\n\n5.) Independence for the Philippines was delayed until 1946.

Civil war made us a country instead of a bunch of states, the Spanish American war established our control of the America's and the First World War turned the US into the center of world instead of Europe.

The Philippines was a colony of Spain. It had a governor-general who answered to the King of Spain. Mostly the communities were centered around 2 main buildings (the church and the city hall). this shows that the church had a great deal of power in running political and government affairs.
