Philippine Revolution
First Phase of the Philippine Revolution
Phase 1:
Philippines vs. Spain
1896-1898

Filipino Leaders: * Andres Bonifacio (Katipunan) * Emilio Aguinaldo * Baldomero Aguinaldo * Emilio Jacinto * Mariano Llanera * Mariano Alvarez * Candido Tirona

Enemies: * Governor General Ramon Blanco * Camilo de Polavieja * Fernando Primo de Rivera

Goals and Objectives of the 1st Phase Leaders: * expulsion of the friars and the return to the Filipinos of the lands they appropriated for themselves * representation in the Spanish Cortes * freedom of the press and tolerance of all religious sects * equal treatment and pay for Peninsular and Insular civil servants * abolition of the power of the government to banish citizens * legal equality for all persons

The 1896 revolution started in Cavite when Rizal was executed for treason. The Katipunan got divided into two groups. Emilio Aguinaldo led the Magdalo and Andres Bonifacio led the Magdiwang. Bonifacio was executed by Aguinaldo's soldiers because of a conflict between them. Because of Rizal's writings, Filipinos became inspired to oppose the power of the clergy and to fight for their independence. Oppression became the fuel of the revolution. With Aguinaldo's leadership, a considerable success was achieved but it was short-lived because neither side honored what they have agreed on. Therefore, a new revolution started.

The first phase of the Philippine revolution ended with the signing of the Pact of Biak-na-Bato between the Spaniards and the Katipuneros. This was a truce between November 18 and December 15, 1897.The two sides resulted to a temporary cessation of hostilities. This brought the uneasy peace between the two for 4 and half months.

    imperialism Phillipines

    Throughout the history its been argued whether the United States had been expansionistic oriented or not, due to its limited presence only in the North American continent. In the late nineteenth century, the United States emerged the drive in expanding to the outside of the continent. The idea of imperialism in the Philippines became popular under the parole of protecting the world from Spanish rule, which was just a cover-up for the real reasons for the presence on these islands. This policy caused much controversy among politicians as well as the citizens. There were many reasons behind these imperialistic urges. One of the main reasons is that the United States sought to expand to foreign markets, and needed the Pacific islands as refueling stations for their ships. The other important reason for the expansion was to spread the Christianity among the heathen (Carnes page 576). In addition, the final reason for these imperialistic urges is that the U.S. had the necessity to annex some overseas properties.…

    Philippines Imperialism

    The Spanish, already in control, were already in the process of changing a majority of the Filipino culture, economy, religion, until 1898 because of Spanish-American War, a war that declined the rule of the spanish over the islands including the Philippines. During this time, although they were under the Spanish rule, the Filipinos hoped that they would gain an alliance with the Americans, and come together in their defeating the Spaniards rule. But on August 1898, the Spanish and Americans consulted on imperializing the Philippines without Filipinos consent or knowledge. So the Spaniards and Americans created the Treaty of Paris, in order to gain control over the Philippines for $20 million. After gaining control, the American troops open fire on the Philippines in early 1899, which would be historical documented as the Philippine-American War.…

    Philippine Insurrection

    During the Spanish-American War, America outright won Puerto Rico and Cuba by defeating the Spanish in each area. At the end of the war, the Spanish were not defeated in the Philippines, so America compromised with the Spanish and paid them for the area. Meanwhile, Emilio Aguinaldo declared independence in the Philippines. McKinley asserted that the Philippines would not be granted their independence, and fighting broke out as a result. Emilio Aguinaldo appointed himself president of the Philippine Republic. The Filipinos did not fight conventionally; they were not skilled enough in battle, so they engaged in guerrilla warfare. Ending the war was a simple plan for the Americans. The main goal was to capture Emilio Aguinaldo, the heart of the Filipino people. One night at a party, two soldiers disguised as Filipino soldiers, surprised and captured Emilio Aguinaldo. Filipinos were willing to surrender the war in exchange for Emilio Aguinaldo, thus ending the Philippine Insurrection. The only way for America to effectively fight against the guerrilla warfare used by the Filipinos was to destroy their villages to cut off supplies from the guerillas. Because of the Filipino lack of leadership and supplies, the war was virtually over. President Theodore Roosevelt declared general amnesty on July 4, 1902. The same year, Congress passed the Philippine Government Act. It meant that a…

    The Aftermath of the Spanish-American War and Brutality in the Phillipines

    In order to accurately respond to the question of whether or not the American forces in the Philippines after the Spanish-American war and during the Philippine-American war were in fact brutal, we must first look at why the wars started in the first place. The Philippine-American war was sparked from the Spanish-American war. Spain owned the Philippines at the time and the American government wanted to take down the Spanish from all sides and the Filipino government was all too eager to help them. They wanted their independence, so at first there were factions of the military who fought alongside the United States to drive the Spanish out.…

    Imperialism of United States in the Philippines

    After its defeat in the Spanish-American War of 1898, Spain ceded its longstanding colony of the Philippines to the United States in the Treaty of Paris. On February 4, 1899, just two days before the U.S. Senate ratified the treaty, fighting broke out between American forces and Filipino nationalists led by Emilio Aguinaldo who sought independence rather than a change in colonial rulers. The ensuing Philippine-American War lasted three years and resulted in the death of over 4,200 American and over 20,000 Filipino combatants. As many as 200,000 Filipino civilians died from violence, famine, and disease. The decision by U.S. policymakers to annex the Philippines was not without domestic controversy. Americans who advocated annexation evinced a variety of motivations: desire for commercial opportunities in Asia, concern that the Filipinos were incapable of self-rule, and fear that if the United States did not take control of the islands, another power (such as Germany or Japan) might do so. Meanwhile, American opposition to U.S. colonial rule of the Philippines came in many forms, ranging from those who thought it morally wrong for the United States to be engaged in colonialism, to those who feared that annexation might eventually permit the non-white Filipinos to have a role in American national government. Others were wholly unconcerned about the moral or racial implications of imperialism and sought only to oppose the policies of President William McKinley’s administration.…

    In March 1897, Emilio Aguinaldo was elected president of a revolutionary government at the Tejeros Convention.[14] The new government was meant to replace the Katipunan as a government, though the latter was not formally abolished until 1899. Aguinaldo was again elected President at Biak-na-Bato in November, leading the Biak-na-Bato Republic.

The matter was complex by the growing economic ties between the two countries. Although moderately…
