To end the establishment of US trade markets

Answer 1

Emilio Aguinaldo led a rebellion against American forces in the Philippines primarily to establish Philippine independence. After the Spanish-American War, the Treaty of Paris (1898) resulted in the United States acquiring the Philippines from Spain, which angered many Filipinos who had declared independence from Spanish rule. Aguinaldo, who had initially worked with American forces to oust the Spanish, turned against the U.S. when it became clear that the Americans intended to govern the Philippines rather than grant independence. This led to the Philippine-American War, where Aguinaldo aimed to secure sovereignty for the Philippines.
