The Spanish language was kept as a means of communication, but the Spanish legal system was exchanged for the American system.” The United States placed troops on the archipelago and established a military government. From 1899 to | 133 | 635 |

In October 1944, MacArthur returned to the Philippines with more troops and supplies. On September 2, 1945, Japan surrendered, and the Philippines gained independence on July 4, 1946 with the Treaty of Manila between the United States and the Philippines. The book begins in February, 1945 and is told from the perspective of thirteen-year-old Alejandro Karangalan. Alejandro and his ten-year-old brother Rodrigo are on their way home | 136 | 665 |

Alejandro is ultimately freed as the Japanese admire his unwillingness to reveal the murderer's identity.

21014834 | "When the Elephants Dance" | morning after, Carlito, Roman, and Mang Pedro leave in search of food. Roman and Pedro return with little success, but Carlito is nowhere to be found. The second part of the novel is told from Isabelle's point of view. Isabelle, Alejandro's older sister, is hiding behind a bush when she sees Domingo shot by the Japanese soldiers. Despite being injured, Domingo overtakes the soldiers and then sees Isabelle and asks for help. She ultimately agrees to assist him in returning to his guerilla camp headquarters, where she meets Domingo's mistress Nina and honorary son. After meeting with his troops, Domingo | 137 | 608 |
21014835 | "When the Elephants Dance" | takes Isabelle back to the Karangalan cellar, but his wound becomes infected on the way home. Isabelle sprints away from Domingo when he cries out in pain, but is soon discovered by Japanese soldiers.

After | 136 | 587 |

Throughout the journey for his son, who has been captured along three members of the cellar inhabitants, Domingo contemplates his failing marriage with Lorna, strained relationship with his son, and his bond with Nina. Upon prompting by Feliciano, Domingo discusses and thinks about his father, | 132 | 602 |

Soon after, Japanese soldiers find the cellar, burn it down, and order the inhabitants to begin marching towards Manila, which is currently being bombed by the Americans. | 127 | 603 |
21014838 | "When the Elephants Dance" | Everyone is ushered into a warehouse with other Filipino prisoners, where Lorna begs Domingo to stay and not return to the guerilla fighters.

They return to the guerilla camp in the mountains, only to be attacked by the Japanese the day after their arrival. Nina is badly wounded in action, and Domingo is forced to shoot her to end her suffering. The final part of the novel | 124 | 574 |
21014839 | "When the Elephants Dance" | is told by Alejandro, who is still held captive in the warehouse along with several other Filipinos.

Tess Uriza Holthe was born in San Francisco, California in 1966. She is the child of Filipino immigrants, her mother an elementary school librarian and father a maintenance worker for a sweater factory. Told to have a career in “something very practical,” Uriza Holthe graduated from Golden Gate University with a degree in accounting. It was not until she established a stable career and took a literary class that she pursued writing. After taking a writing | 130 | 590 |
21014843 | "When the Elephants Dance" | class for fun, Uriza Holthe began writing short stories that incorporated the myths she heard from her grandparents. Eventually, she framed it into her first novel, "When the Elephants Dance", and published it in 2002. As a child, Uriza Holthe frequently listened to her parents and grandparents tell stories about life in the Philippines during American and Japanese occupation. These stories were filled with supernatural elements and the harsh realities of war, which inspired her to eventually write "When the Elephants Dance" in 2002. The opening scene of the novel is based on an experience her father had when he | 129 | 619 |
21014844 | "When the Elephants Dance" | was thirteen years old and living in Paco, Philippines. Her father and his friends were chopping wood in an undesignated area when they were caught and tortured by Japanese soldiers. In 2007, Uriza Holthe published her second book, "Five-Forty-Five to Cannes". Tess Uriza Holthe currently lives in San Francisco, California and lives there with her husband, Jason, and two sons. Unity and loyalty play a major role in influencing the actions and behaviors of characters. There is disagreement among Filipinos in the book about the best way to survive during the war. Some follow the guerilla movement; others are Japanese | 137 | 621 |
21014845 | "When the Elephants Dance" | sympathizers; and the rest wait for the Americans. Alejandro told the cellar inhabitants that Domingo says “we must all stand together and fight the Japanese. We must not let them divide us against one another.” At the end of the book, Domingo tries to rally everyone to fight the soldiers in the warehouse, citing a love for their country and desire for freedom as incentive. There is also value in loyalty to your family and country from both the Japanese and Filipinos. In the beginning of the novel, Alejandro is captured and refuses to reveal the identity of Domingo and | 123 | 575 |
21014846 | "When the Elephants Dance" | the person who murdered a general. The solider releases Alejandro, saying that “This one has honor, he not like rest. He rather die than give his friend.” Domingo's constant internal struggle of choosing between keeping his family safe or fighting for the good of the country exemplifies the theme of loyalty as well. The downfall of innocence is personified throughout the novel, particularly through Isabelle. When she was trying to find her way home, Japanese soldiers capture and brutally rape her, thus taking away her virginity and innocence. Isabelle says “I have become detached from my own skin. I am | 128 | 609 |
21014847 | "When the Elephants Dance" | a virgin no more, I repeat to myself. People will know this when they see me. I look into their eyes, but there is nothing, no hope, no compassion, only hate and blackness.

He was a son of Pulakeshin II, who was defeated and probably killed when the Pallavas invaded and captured the Chalukya capital Vatapi. The immediate history of the dynasty after Pulakeshin's death is not clear, but inscriptions of Adityavarman and his son suggest that Adityavarman ruled a weakened Chalukya kingdom for a short period, before his younger brother Vikramaditya I defeated the Pallavas and restored the Chalukya power. Adityavarman was one of the sons of the Chalukya emperor Pulakeshin II. | 181 | 633 |
21014858 | "Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty)" | In 642–643 CE, the Pallavas, who were the southern neighbours of the Chalukyas, invaded and captured the Chalukya capital Vatapi. Pulakeshin was probably killed in this conflict. The history of the Chalukya dynasty over the next decade, when Pulakeshin's other son Vikramaditya I ascended the throne in c. 655, is not clear. It cannot be said with certainty if the Chalukya empire was divided among the various sons of Pulakeshin, or if his successor(s) ruled from other headquarter(s) while the Pallavas occupied Vatapi. Despite this uncertainty, Adityavarman's existence and his rule as the Chalukya king is attested by his Kurnool | 175 | 633 |
21014859 | "Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty)" | (Karnul) grant inscription, his son's Nelakunda grant inscription, Someshvara III's "Vikramankabhyudaya", and Sarvajnatma's "Samkshepa-Shariraka". The Kurnool inscription does not mention Adityavarman's order of birth among Pulakeshin's sons, and does not mention Vikramaditya. The 1009 CE Kantheru grant inscription of the later Chalukyas of Kalyani, who claimed descent from the Chalukyas of Badami, names Adityavarman as a son of Nedamari and a grandson of Pulakeshin II. However, this late account contains several inaccuracies, and cannot be considered as reliable. "Vikramankabhyudaya" of the 12th century king Someshvara III, whose dynasty claimed descent from the Chalukyas of Vatapi, states that Adityavarman succeeded his | 211 | 731 |
21014860 | "Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty)" | father Pulakeshin. According to the Kurnool and Nelakunda inscriptions, Adityavarman bore the regnal titles "Shri-prithvi-vallabha", "Maharajadhiraja", and "Parameshvara" ("Supreme Lord"). The Kurnool inscription boasts that he possessed the "supreme rule over the whole circuit of earth which had been overcome by the strength of his arm and prowess". The Kurnool grant inscription is dated to Adityavarman's first regnal year: historian D. P. Dikshit assumes that he may have ruled during c. 643–645 CE, spending most of his time trying to regain the former Chalukya territory from the Pallavas and other enemies. Historian D. C. Sircar theorized that Vikramaditya I and | 187 | 672 |
21014861 | "Adityavarman (Chalukya dynasty)" | Adityavarman ruled different parts of the Pulakeshin's former empire simultaneously. Historian T. V. Mahalingam theorized that Adityavarman was simply a former name of Vikramaditya I. His theory is based on the following arguments: Historian D. P. Dikshit disputes this identification based on the following arguments: The Nerur inscription of Adityavarman's son Abhinavaditya gives both men the imperial title "Parameshvara", which suggests that Abhinavaditya succeeded his father as the Chalukya sovereign. The inscription is not dated in any regnal year or calendar era, and Abhinavaditya is not known from any other source. The subsequent Chalukya record presumably omit his name because | 171 | 691 |

21014878 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | Isaac Maliyamungu Isaac Maliyamungu, also known as Isaac Lugonzo, was a general of the Uganda Army (UA) who served as one of Idi Amin's most important officials and supporters during the Ugandan military dictatorship of 1971–79. Born in Zaire, Maliyamungu was one of the members of the 1971 coup that brought Amin to power, and was thereafter responsible for brutally suppressing dissidents throughout the country. Rising in the ranks, Maliyamungu amassed great power and earned a feared reputation. He also held important commands during the Uganda–Tanzania War, but had little success in combat against the Tanzania People's Defence Force. When | 158 | 646 |
21014879 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | the Tanzanians and their Ugandan allies overthrew Amin's government in 1979, Maliyamungu fled to Zaire, where he became a businessman. Born in Zaire, Maliyamungu was a Christian of Kakwa ethnicity and a cousin of Idi Amin. At some point, he migrated to Uganda, and got a job as gatekeeper at the Nyanza textile factory in Jinja. He joined the Uganda Army (UA) in 1967. By 1971, Maliyamungu was a corporal and served as pay clerk for the Uganda Air Force at Entebbe. He played a crucial role in Amin's coup against President Milton Obote, and it was later claimed that | 163 | 567 |
21014880 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | he had rammed an armoured personnel carrier into an important armoury in the capital Kampala during the coup, ensuring that the putschists had access to ample weaponry. Another putschist, Moses Galla, has disputed this version, however, and stated that he had been the driver of the APC. Maliyamungu's main task during the coup was to secure Entebbe airport. This he successfully did by driving a tank from the Malire Barracks to Entebbe. After the successful coup, Maliyamungu was one of the officers who were entrusted with defeating the remaining militant Obote loyalists and purging the Uganda Army of anti-Amin elements. | 149 | 625 |
21014881 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | For this purpose, he was granted "unlimited powers to execute anyone in the army", including superior officers. Alongside Colonel Ali, Colonel Musa, and Major Malera, Maliyamungu succeeded in defeating the armed resistance to the new regime, and proceeded to murder hundreds of political opponents. He later boasted of "single-handedly mastermind[ing]" the mass murder of civilians suspected of being opposed to Amin. Rapidly promoted, Maliyamungu was made lieutenant colonel, became a member of the Defence Council, General Staff Officer I Grade responsible for training and operations (army chief of staff), commander of the Ordinance Depot at Magamaga, and head of a | 151 | 669 |
21014882 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | special unit which was known for its extreme methods in suppressing suspected dissidents. Known as Idi Amin's "hit man", Maliyamungu was reportedly feared by his colleagues on the Defence Council due to his brutality, and by the rest of the army due to his great powers and close connection with President Amin. Maliyamungu was linked to the deaths of several prominent Ugandans during the rule of Amin. In 1972, he had Francis Walugembe, the former Mayor of Masaka, "cut into pieces in the [town's] market in full public view". He also chaired the show trial of Archbishop Janani Luwum and | 148 | 590 |
21014883 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | other religious leaders in 1977; Luwum as well as his colleagues were murdered shortly after the trial. According to Mustafa Adrisi (Vice President of Uganda at the time) and a Human rights commission, Maliyamungu was directly responsible for their deaths. Like many other high-ranking officials under Amin, Maliyamungu used his power to enrich himself. When Amin ordered the expulsion of Asians from Uganda, Maliyamungu was on a committee to oversee the distribution of their wealth, taking much for himself. Over time, Amin's brutal regime was increasingly destabilized by internal divisions and economic problems despite great repression by state authorities. One | 148 | 666 |
21014884 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | of Amin's policies that drew opposition even among his original followers was the great power he gave to Kakwa and Nubians, while leaving officials of other ethnicies underrepresented. As result, a group of officers led by Brigadier Charles Arube attempted to overthrow Amin and kill his Nubian/Kakwa followers, including Maliyamungu. In the end, Arube's plot failed. Maliyamungu was also regarded as "prime target" for assassination by Ugandan exiles, as he controlled most tank forces of the Uganda Army. Overall, the Ugandan government was in a precarious state by 1978, so that the authorities took ever more drastic actions to remain | 152 | 638 |
21014885 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | in power. For example, Maliyamungu (by then promoted to brigadier) declared in a 1978 speech to 10,000 civilians that he would use tanks and bulldozers to destroy any area that was opposed to the government, proving to everyone that the regime "is hotter than a heated iron bar and not afraid to act". Following the Uganda–Tanzania War's outbreak and the Ugandan invasion of Tanzania in late 1978, Maliyamungu visited the occupied Kagera Salient region with his girlfriend. He was reportedly shocked upon witnessing how much destruction the Ugandan soldiers had cause. Weeping, he said that this "could not have been | 150 | 616 |
21014886 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | the work of the Uganda Army he knew". Soon after, the war turned against Uganda, as the Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) launched a large-scale counter-offensive. Maliyamungu was in command of the Ugandan garrison at Masaka, which was one of the most important towns in southern Uganda. Though thousands strong, the Ugandan forces at Masaka were wrought by indiscipline and internal divisions. With the exception of a number of probes against Tanzanian positions around the town, which Maliyamungu ordered on 23 February, the defense of Masaka was ineffective. The TPDF managed to occupy it almost without resistance on 24 February, | 148 | 638 |
21014887 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | while the Ugandans fled north. With Masaka under Tanzanian control, Kampala was threatened, prompting President Amin to order a counter-attack and put Maliyamungu in charge of the operation. In a battle at Bukulula north of Masaka, Maliyamungu managed to defeat the Tanzanian forces who had grown overconfident due to their successes up to that point. This marked the only serious defeat of the TPDF in the entire war. In contrast, Maliyamungu's next engagement, the Battle of Lukaya, was a complete defeat for the Uganda Army. President Amin's son Jaffar Rembo Amin later claimed that Maliyamungu had been bribed by the | 160 | 620 |
21014888 | "Isaac Maliyamungu" | Tanzanians to lose the battle, and also accused him of cowardice by placing his command position miles from the frontlines. When Amin's regime finally collapsed and Kampala fell to the Tanzanians, Maliyamungu fled across the border to Zaire. He took a substantial amount of his wealth with him, and subsequently worked as businessman. Maliyamungu was multilingual, and could speak Kakwa, Kiswahili, English, Lusoga, Luganda, Runyoro, Luo, as well as other languages. He had a son named Samson.
