Answer: The reason why the United States navy attacked the Manila bay was because the manila bay was ruled by spain and the ships belonged to the spanish. The Manila bay in the Philippines was controlled by the Spanish.

During the Spanish American war on April 27, 1898 navy commodore George Dewey attacked the Manila bay. The entire Spanish squad was silenced and only one American live was lost.
