The Battle for Manila from 3 February to 3 March 1945

The Battle for Manila from 3 February to 3 March 1945, fought by United States and Japanese forces, was part of the Philippines' 1945 campaign. The one-month battle, which culminated in a terrible bloodbath and total devastation of the city, was the scene of the worst urban fighting in the Pacific theater, and ended almost three years of Japanese military occupation in the Philippines (1942--1945). The city's capture was marked as General Douglas MacArthur's key to victory in the campaign of reconquest.

Some Filipino and Americans cannot tell whether it is the truth or propaganda because they do not research history. Fact is, the Philippines was invaded by US military in 1898 after "buying" the territory from Spain. US-Philippine War started and 200,000 to 1 million civilians died from starvation, disease, executions and massacres. US Federal Law (Tydings-McDuffie Act 1934) mandated US preparing Filipinos for independence in 1944. It wasn't because of "liberation"

@blvivencio Thank them? They bombed Manila killing Filipino civilians, men, women, & children - 100,000 Filipinos died bec the Americans didn't care about killing Filipinos as long as they got to the 10,000 walled up in Intramuros. Wala ka bang kahihiyan?

Wow its just so Surrreal and weird to see that M4 Sherman Tank inside Rizal Memorial Stadium

[BrAvZtheGrEaT]

Alam nyo . D natin alam kung anong nang kalagayan natin ngayon kung sakaling ang hapon ang namamahala sa pilipinas. Malupit ang mga hapon noon, sa ngayon, ang mga hapon na nakaranas ng malupit na digmaan ang sa kasalukuyang namamahala sa japan kaya ganyan sila. Ayaw na nilang maulit ang kanilang naranasan. Ibang hapon noon, at iba naman sila ngayon, pero isa lang ang kanilang lahi.

[BrAvZtheGrEaT]

@pnai24qc hmm.. hindi rin mangyayari yan ang iniisip mo na magiging katulad ngayon ng japan ang pilipinas kung sila ang nanalo sa gyera. Ang kanilang general ay malupit at tiyak gagawing alipin lang ang mga pilipino hanggang sa mag laho na ang dugong pilipino. Naging ganyan lang naman sila ngayon dahil sila ang binombahan at marami ang nawala sa kanila. Kaya naging masikap sila kaya mataas ang antas ng estado nila sa ngayon.

sana sa manila na lang binagsak un atomic bomb. mas malinis pa sana ang pinas ngaun. what if japanese had won the war? philippine became the japanese states, we speaks japanese, and ofcourse better jobs for philippine people. give me a thumbs up if you agree.oh yeah, i cant wait for WWIII, russia vs U.S.A.
