A brief history of the Philippines

The Philippines is a country located in Southeast Asia. It is an archipelago consisting of more than 7,000 islands. The first inhabitants of the Philippines were the Austronesian-speaking people who migrated from south China about 4,000 years ago. The Philippines was colonized by Spain in the 16th century and became a part of the Spanish Empire. The United States acquired the Philippines as part of the 1898 Treaty of Paris following the Spanish-American War. During World War II, Japanese forces occupied much of the Philippines but were eventually defeated by American forces.
