The military history of the Philippines is characterized by wars between Philippine kingdoms and its neighbors in the precolonial era and then Spanish and American era, and then occupation by the Empire of Japan during World War II and participation in Asian conflicts post-World War II such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The Philippines has also battled a communist insurgency and a secessionist movement by Muslims in the southern portion of the country.
