More Information
The Spanish American War lasted from late April (the date varies a few days as to when the "official" beginning occurred - April 22, 23, or 25) to December 10, 1898 when it ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris between the U.S. and Spain. It only lasted eight months.
The Spanish American War was a global war, being fought physically in the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico and Cuba. In addition, it was fought politically in the home countries as well as in diverse places such Egypt, and Hawaii. Particularly important also is that the war was fought between the U.S. and Spain. This may sound obvious, but is a point of confusion. Lastly, the Filipinos served as an active defacto, but unofficial, U.S. ally.
What was the "Philippine Insurrection"?
The Philippine American War was formerly termed the "Philippine Insurrection" by the U.S. The term is no longer accepted, since, as pointed out by the government of the Philippines, the conflict did not fit the definition of an insurrection. For it to have been an insurrection, the U.S. would have had to have been in some sort of basic control of the archipelago when the conflict commenced. In fact, the U.S. only controlled Manila, Cavite, Manila Bay, and the water surrounding the archipelago. It had no troops, and no governmental control elsewhere. As a result, the action was, in fact, a war. The conflict has now been termed the "Philippine American War" by the U.S. government, and the conflict is so listed at places such as the Library of Congress.
