📅 20 Oktober 1944 📍 Filipijnen

U.S. and Filipino forces landed at Leyte, beginning a campaign to retake the Philippines from Japan. Filipino guerrillas had gathered intelligence, rescued Allied personnel, and resisted occupation before and during the landings. The return of U.S. forces did not erase the Philippines’ unequal colonial relationship with the United States or settle the question of genuine sovereignty.
