How did the United States acquire control of the Philippines in 1898?

In 1898, the United States acquired control of the Philippines through the Treaty of Paris, which concluded the Spanish-American War. Following the U.S. naval victory at the Battle of Manila Bay, American forces occupied the Philippines. Spain ceded the islands to the United States for $20 million. This transfer of power led to the resumption of hostilities, as Filipino independence leader Emilio Aguinaldo led a guerrilla campaign against U.S. rule in the subsequent Philippine-American War.1234
