The violent Moro Rebellion (1899-1913) took place during the Philippine-American War. The Moro were Muslim people who lived in the Southern Philippines. When the US took control of the Philippines from Spain in late 1899, the Moro refused to accept the US as being in control. Americans suffered losses amounting to 130 killed and 323 wounded, with another 500 or so dying of disease. The Philippine Scouts who augmented American forces during the campaign suffered 116 killed and 189 wounded. The Philippine Constabulary suffered heavily as well with more than 1,500 losses.
