Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Philippine Islands were under the control of Spain, but the US acquired them after the Spanish-American War in 1898. The Filipinos, led by Emilio Aguinaldo, declared independence and fought against US military forces in what is known as the Philippine-American War (1899-1902). The US eventually gained control of the islands and established them as a US colony until their independence in 1946. The US did not use its army to suppress a struggle for independence in Panama, Samoa, or the Hawaiian Islands during this time period.
