    The American period in Philippine history began when Spain lost control of the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, sparking the Philippine-American War between U.S. forces and Filipino nationalists seeking independence. While the U.S. took over colonial rule, it also introduced new cultural influences like freedom of religion, English language education, and Western foods. The U.S. gradually granted more autonomy, establishing an elected assembly in 1907 and promising independence in the Jones Act of 1916. Major American architectural contributions included governmental buildings in Greek/Roman styles, infrastructure promoting sanitation, educational facilities, and city planner David Burnham's plan for Manila incorporating European-style design and durable new materials like concrete.

    Give me some insights on what you have learned from your history classes pertaining to

    American Period, not necessary architecture related.

    The American Colonial Era in the Philippines started when Spain got defeated in the Spanish-
    American War of 1898. Spain gave up its longstanding colony in the Philippines to the United
    States in the Treaty of Paris. A war broke out between American forces and Filipino nationalists
    led by Emilio Aguinaldo. Rather than a change in colonizers, he sought independence. The
    following Philippine-American War lasted three years and claimed the lives of a significant
    number of American and Filipino soldiers. Many Filipino civilians died from violence, famine, and
    disease.
    During their colonization in the Philippines, they have greatly influenced the Filipinos when it
    comes to culture, government, values, and architecture. Some examples include; freedom in
    choosing a religion, free education, English (English became a secondary language, not a
    foreign language for Filipinos), clothing, and foods like hamburgers, sandwiches, ice cream, and
    more.
    The Philippines held its first elected assembly in 1907, and the Jones Act of 1916 promised the
    country's ultimate independence. In 1935, the archipelago became an autonomous
    commonwealth, and in 1946, the United States awarded sovereignty.
    In your opinion, what are the major contributions of Americans to our architecture?

    When the Americans colonized the Philippines, they brought several key influences incorporated into
    our local architecture with them. The establishment of civil government was one of America's significant
    achievements to the country. As a result, the city built government buildings that resembled Greek or
    Roman temples. They also built infrastructure that encourages sanitary norms as well as educational
    facilities. Furthermore, David Burnham's arrival in the Philippines resulted in the construction of the
    Burnham Plan, which makes the city of Manila alike with plans in European cities. New buildings used
    more durable materials like concrete.
