Complete the sentence about Angeles City with the correct year: On August 10, ______, U.S. forces began the attack on Angeles confident in capturing it in a few days.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1899
Angeles is a city in Central Luzon that saw fighting in the American period. U.S. forces began their attack on August 10, 1899, expecting a quick win, but the Filipino defenders fought back fiercely. The same account has Aguinaldo leaving for Tarlac that July, so 1884, 1894 and 1904 do not fit.
