the term benevolent assimilation refers to a policy of the united states towards the philippines as described in a proclamation by u.s. president william mckinley issued on december 21, 1898. it succinctly stated that "future control, disposition, and government of the philippine islands were ceded to the united states" and that "the military government is to be to the whole of the ceded territory." the proclamation was issued after spain was defeated in the spanish–american war but before fighting began in the philippine–american war. prior to the proclamation, the united states had defeated spain during the naval battle of manila bay on may 1, 1898. subsequently, on june 12, 1898, emilio aguinaldo declared the philippines independent and established a revolutionary government whose the filipino revolutionary armed forces surrounded manila and the occupying american army. this created a stand-off between opposing armies that would erupt in fighting in early 1899.
