The Philippines is the third largest English speaking country in the world. It has a rich history combining Asian, European, and American influences. Prior to Spanish colonization in 1521, the Filipinos had a rich culture and were trading with the Chinese and the Japanese. Spain's colonization brought about the construction of Intramuros in 1571, a "Walled City" comprised of European buildings and churches, replicated in different parts of the archipelago. In 1898, after 350 years and 300 rebellions, the Filipinos, with leaders like Jose Rizal and Emilio Aguinaldo, succeeded in winning their independence.\n\nIn 1898, the Philippines became the first and only colony of the United States. Following the Philippine-American War, the United States brought widespread education to the islands. Filipinos fought alongside Americans during World War II, particularly at the famous battle of Bataan and Corregidor which delayed Japanese advance and saved Australia. They then waged a guerilla war against the Japanese from 1941 to 1945. The Philippines regained its independence in 1946.

The Philippines are islands in the Pacific and WWI was fought in Europe. For the most part is was a land-based war and the Philippines was just on the wrong side of the world to effectively participate.\n\nThe Phillipines had no choice in WWII. They were attacked by Japan and over-run.

On July 25, 1898 at the outbreak of the Spanish–American War, Puerto Rico, being a colony of Spain, was invaded by the United States of America with a landing at Guánica. Spain was forced to cede Puerto Rico, along with Cuba and the Philippines, to the United States under the Treaty of Paris (1898) [4]. The twentieth century began under the military regime of the United States with officials, including the governor, appointed by the President of the United States. In 1917, the Jones-Shafroth Act approved by the United States Congress granted Puerto Ricans U.S. citizenship so that they could be recruited as soldiers for WWI. Natural disasters and the Great Depression impoverished the island. Some political leaders demanded change; some, like Pedro Albizu Campos, would lead a nationalist (The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party) movement in favor of independence. He would eventually die by what he claimed was a conspiracy set in place by the U.S. Federal Government. Muñoz Marín initially favored independence, but saw a severe decline of the Puerto Rican economy, as well as growing violence and uprisings, at the hands of the U.S. government and opted to create the "commonwealth" option as an eventual stepping stone to full independence.\n\nAlthough Puerto Rico is, politically speaking, an unincorporated territory of the United States classified as a Commonwealth, Puerto Ricans and people from other nations refer to Puerto Rico as a país, the Spanish word for country. This is a very common and accepted international status given to all dependent territories, also called dependent "states" by the United Nations. The United Nations has intervened in the past to evaluate the legitimacy of Puerto Rico's political status, to ensure that the island's government structure complies with the standards of self-government that constitute the basic tenets of the United Nations Charter, its covenants, and its principles of international law.

The US-Mexican war happened between 1846 to 1848.  As a consequence of the war the United States acquired the northern half of Mexico. This area later became the U.S. states of California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.\n\nThe defeat of Mexico was the first time an enemy force occupied the capitol of the nation. The French would also occupy Mexico City in the 1860's\n\nRelations between the United States and Mexico remained tense for many decades to come, with several military encounters along the border.

1.) \na.) Since some of the major wars in the period were over Spanish and Austrian Succession, this is incorrect.\nb.) The Thirty Years War was almost completely about religion, so this is incorrect.\nc.) The wars during these centuries were bloody and far-reaching, thus this is incorrect.\nd.) This is correct - these centuries saw the return of states maintaining standing armies, and saw an increased use of firearms, which allowed unskilled fighters to be just as dangerous as the upper class (compared to knights in previous ages).\n\n2.) \na.) Habsburgs did dominate central Europe, but Germany was far from unified - incorrect.\nb.) Correct.\nc.) Correct.\nd.) Since a is incorrect, this is not correct.\ne.) This is the appropriate answer, since b and c are correct.\n\n3.) Spanish conquistadors were sending expeditions for one reason - gold and silver. (hence Pizarro's expedition for the Seven Cities of Cibola, Cortes' expedition against the Aztecs, and the subjugation of the Inca). Early Spanish colonization ended as soon as they ran into places that didn't have gold. Thus, c. is correct.

Revolutionary War and French-Indian War would not count as wars America has fought after it became a country. The United States did not have sovereignty until after the Revolutionary War ended. So technically, the colonies did not constitute as a country yet. The French-Indian War took place prior to the Revolutionary War.\n\nSo the US, after its creation, fought in the War of 1812, Mexican-American War, American Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Afghanistan/Iraq (so called 'war on terror'). In that order.
