Answer 2

I found that earlier but I couldn't understand how the Philippines became involved. It talked about how Cuba did but I am still confused as to why the Philippines became a part of it.

Answer 3

That fact isn't clear in that article.

Spain had ruled the Philippines since the 16th century. When the Americans defeated Spain in the Spanish-American War, they took over the Philippines.
