when did the american grant independence on the philippine
The Philippines Revolutionary Government did not recognize the treaty and the two sides subsequently fought the PhilippineâAmerican War. The United States of America granted independence to the Philippines on July 4, 1946 through the Treaty of Manila. July 4 was chosen as the date by the United States because it corresponds to the United States' Independence Day, and that day was observed in the Philippines as Independence Day until 1962.
