Philippines

Explanation:

The United States acquired the Philippines as a result of the Spanish-American War, alongside Puerto Rico and Guam. However, the Philippines refused to recognize this rule. As the United States continued to face stiff opposition in the form of a guerrilla war, the Philippine-American War broke out. The war resulted in the death of 200,000-1 million Filipino civilians due to famine and disease.
