The Philippines is one of the largest countries in the world. With a population of 115 million people, it is the 14th largest country in the world in terms of population. 

However, for a period of 48 years, it was a colony of the United States.

That half-century was one of the most important in the history of the Philippines. It saw two major wars, profound social and cultural changes, and laid the foundation for full independence. 

Learn more about the period of American occupation of the Philippines and how it changed both countries on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
