With the Spanish fleet destroyed at Manila Bay, American General Thomas M. Anderson landed troops at Cavite, followed by the main force under General Wesley Merritt, to besiege Manila, defended by Spanish General Fermin Jáudenes. Manila fell in an almost bloodless assault and the United States seized the Philippines, triggering a bloody war with the Filipinos.
