Philippines: HIST 296 ("WWII and Its Legacies in Asia/Pacific")

The Philippine Decolonization as an Anomaly

 

            On December 8, 1941, Japan launched an attack on Commonwealth of the Philippines, ten hours after their attack on Pearl Harbor. The Philippines at this time was a semi-independent commonwealth government under the colonial rule of the United States of America. Filipino and American soldiers were defeated a the Battle of Bataan and the Battle of Corregidor in April 1942. The Japanese occupation of the Philippines occurred between 1942 and 1945 during WWII. Filipinos staged guerrilla resistance against the Japanese until 1945. The Philippines was liberated from Japanese control by Allied forces in 1944. The Philippines was granted full independence by the United States in 1946.

BATAAN DEATH MARCH

Apr 9, 1942 – Apr 17, 1942

https://guides.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/c.php?g=105238&p=687105&preview=45b21e957570d87b56496e6e79f98576

           During World War II, on April 9, 1942, 75,000 United States soldiers and Filipino soldiers surrendered to Japanese forces after months of battling in extreme-climate conditions. They were forced to march 80 miles across the Bataan Peninsula. Approximately 10,000 soldiers died (1,000 Americans and 9,000 Filipinos).

 

 

RESISTANCE AGAINST THE JAPANESE OCCUPATION

 

            Local resistance to colonialism has a long history in Southeast Asia. There were many rebellions that drew on religion and traditional ideas of power to express their opposition to the outsiders. 

           These rebellions continued during the Japanese Occupation. In the Philippines there was an extensive Philippine resistance movement, which opposed the Japanese and their collaborators with active underground and guerrilla activity that increased over the years.
