Why the Philippine-American War Was Erased from US Textbooks

Why was one of America’s bloodiest and most brutal wars almost completely erased from US history textbooks?

In this eye-opening video, we uncover the forgotten Philippine-American War (1899–1902) — a conflict that killed hundreds of thousands, involved water torture, concentration camps, and scorched earth tactics… yet most Americans have never heard of it.

Discover:
• How the US acquired the Philippines after defeating Spain
• The brutal reality of the war — casualties, atrocities, and guerrilla fighting
• Why it was officially called the “Philippine Insurrection” instead of a war
• Mark Twain’s fierce opposition and the Anti-Imperialist League
• The shocking reasons this war was erased from American education
• Its lasting impact on US foreign policy in Asia

This is a powerful story about empire, racism, resistance, and the politics of historical memory. Understanding hidden history helps us better understand the present.
