Balangiga massacre
The "Balangiga massacre" was an incident in 1901 during the Philippine-American War (or "Philippine Insurrection", according to older US terminology) where many American soldiers were killed in a surprise guerrilla attack in the town of Balangiga on Samar island. This incident was described the United States Army's worst defeat since the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876.
