At this time, the British were busy dealing with the Ireland issue, but they also had a difficult brother - the United States, which was inexplicably declared war by the Philippines.
As long as other powers do not intervene, the problem of Ireland is not so difficult. This is good news for the British, as the situation in France and the United States is not so good at this time.
If the Irish War of Independence was just the spontaneous rebellion of the Irish against British rule, then the Philippine War of Independence was much more severe than the Irish war.
Because of the support of Australasia, the Philippine army still maintained an advantage over the United States army.
This advantage was not only limited to the number of people but also not far behind in terms of weapons and equipment.
Because of the separation of the entire Pacific Ocean, it would be very costly for the Americans to transport weapons to the Philippines.
