Answer: A short but ruthless war.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Americans dominated throughout the war. The Filipinos were not able to oppose the superior American troops. Also, they did not gain international support, which continuously affected the procurement of ammunition and weapons. About 4,000 American soldiers and over 20,000 Filipinos were killed during the war and many civilians. The victory in the war gave the United States a significant strategic place. In the Asia-Pacific region, the United States has expanded its military and economic capacities. Thus the united states expanded its influence in that part of the world. The Philippines gained independence over time, which had been encouraged since the beginning of the war, but full autonomy had to wait for some time.
