The photo (circa 1900) is just one of the gruesome moments perpetuated by the Philippine-American War. The conflict between American soldiers and Filipino insurgents lasted from 1899 to 1902. It all started when a Filipino guerilla was shot by an American patrol on February 4, 1899. Soon, Aguinaldo’s plan to build an independent nation backfired, resulting into a three-year conflict that brought thousands of fatality.
