AMERICAN and JAPANESE Occupation

The document describes the different types of governments that occupied the Philippines: 1) A military government led by American generals after the American occupation. 2) A civil government led by a governor general that was semi-independent after 10 years of American rule. 3) A Commonwealth government that was more autonomous with a president, legislature, and judiciary similar to the US system. 4) Japanese occupations established a civil government commission with executive and legislative powers and a puppet Second Philippine Republic under President Jose P. Laurel.
