Answer 1

The territory that most resisted American rule after the Spanish-American War was the Philippines. Following the war, there was a strong nationalist movement in the Philippines, leading to the Philippine-American War (1899-1902), where Filipino forces fought against American colonization. This conflict involved significant resistance and resulted in a protracted and brutal struggle.
