The American invasion of the Philippines in May, 1898 was part of the Spanish-American War, which resulted after the US intervened in the Cuban revolt against Spanish rule. In addition to the Philippines, the US also captured Guam. The Japanese invasion of the Philippines in 1942 had three strategic purposes: 1  To remove US bases in the Western Pacific that could threaten Japan and its seaborne logistics connections. 2  To protect Japan's access to territories in Southeast Asia and Oceania that Japan expected to conquer.
