Question

The United States acquired the Philippines from Japan at the beginning of World War II. True or False.

Answer 1

FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Though Japan took power in the Philippines during World War II, it returned to the U.S. control after the war. In 1946, the U.S. and the Philippines signed the Treaty of Manila, whereupon the United States recognized the independence and sovereignty of the Republic of the Philippines.
