Counterinsurgency Campaigns

Abstract

This paper aimed to explore on the similarities and differences of the Philippine War (1899 - 1902) with the American Western Frontier (1865 - 1890). It analyzed the root causes of the success or the failure of the two historical events to be able to identify critical factors that led to such success or failure on the battlefield. The study also attempted to find out the overall impact or importance of tactical success in achieving strategic goals. In general, the paper aimed at coming up with a synthesis that would point to the important insights that may serve as guides to those who dare go on war against tyranny and terrorism.
