    Study Notes

    Aguinaldo's Claim to Independence

    • The Hong Kong Junta, a group of exiled Filipino revolutionaries, was established in Hong Kong under the leadership of Emilio Aguinaldo.
    • The Junta's primary goal was to achieve Philippine independence from Spanish control.
    • Disagreement arose among the revolutionaries, which led to changes in the membership of the group.
    • The Biak-na-Bato Pact, signed in December 1897, resulted in the exile of several key revolutionaries, including Aguinaldo.
    • Spain violated the Biak-na-Bato Pact, leading to its cancellation in April 1898.
    • The Junta was instrumental in achieving Philippine independence, primarily through diplomacy and propaganda rather than armed conflict.

    The US's Role in the Philippines

    • The USS Maine Incident in Havana Harbor played a crucial role in the US's entry into the war with Spain.
    • The US declared war on Spain on April 21, 1898.
    • The US **supported Cuban independence **from Spain, marking the first overseas war.
    • The US naval victory in the Battle of Manila Bay was crucial in shifting the focus of the war from Cuba to the Philippines.

    The Battle of Manila Bay

    • The Battle of Manila Bay was a decisive victory for the US Navy, led by Commodore George Dewey.
    • The battle saw the destruction of the entire Spanish Armada, with very few US casualties.
    • Dewey's forces outmaneuvered the Spanish fleet and sank all but one of their ships.
    • The victory paved the way for the US occupation of Manila and the eventual transfer of the Philippines from Spanish to American Control.
    • The battle was fought on May 1, 1898.
    • The US fleet comprised modern ships, while the Spanish fleet consisted of outdated wooden warships.
    • The victory was partially attributed to the efforts of Theodore Roosevelt, who played a significant role in selecting Dewey to command the US warships.
