The Philippine Revolution (1896-1902)
- The Philippine Revolution began in 1896, sparked by resistance against Spanish rule, culminating in the Cry of Pugad Lawin.
- A temporary truce, the Pact of Biak-na-Bato, followed, but promises of reform were ultimately broken.
- Filipino revolutionary leaders regrouped in Hong Kong (Hong Kong Junta) during the exile period, strategically aligning with the Spanish-American War.

- The establishment of a revolutionary government followed, but the Treaty of Paris (1898) ceded the Philippines to the United States, contradicting the declaration of independence.
- The Treaty of Paris formally transferred sovereignty from Spain to the US, disregarding Filipino aspirations. This set the stage for the Philippine-American War.
