I have very little knowledge about either local or US policy and politics for the region at the time but I wondered if there was any chance or PoD that would give a decent reason and explaination for the Phillipines becoming independant in the 1920-1930s. I understand that in 1935 independance talks were begun, is there any way to acclerate these and achieve total freedom ? Perhaps if the USA kept trade and basing rights ?
