[quote="Short Hand":9a326]wow, Philipine war was quite bloody indeed...

[quote:9a326]CASUALTY FIGURES:

U.S.-- 4,234 dead and 2,818 wounded.

Philippines-- 20,000 military dead and 200,000 civilian dead. (approximate numbers). Some historians place the numbers of civilian dead at 500,000 or higher.

UNIQUE FACTS OR TRENDS:

1. This was the first major land campaign fought by the U.S. outside of the Western Hemisphere.

2. The Philippine-American War can be considered America's first "Imperialistic" conflict.[/quote:9a326][/quote:9a326]

Yep, one of my favorite wars to study. Silly how much it was forgotten.
