A story that deserves to be remembered from the end of the Spanish period in the Philippines 🇵🇭 is that of the so-called "The Last of the Philippines." These were a group of Spanish soldiers who were besieged in the church of the town of Baler, on the Philippine island of Luzon between July 1898 and June 1899, and who did not know that in December 1898, Spain 🇪🇸 and the United States 🇺🇸 had signed the Treaty of Paris, in which sovereignty over the Philippines was ceded to the United States. Therefore, while the Spanish soldiers were being repatriated to Spain, they continued fighting even though the war between the Philippines and Spain had already ended. Finally, while leafing through the besieged newspapers left in the church, they discovered a piece of news that could not have been invented by the Filipinos, which finally convinced them that Spain no longer held sovereignty over the Philippines and that there was no point in continuing to resist in the church. On June 2, 1899, Baler's Spanish detachment surrendered.

I wish this video explained how Maguindanao and Sulu weren't really part of the Philippines during Spanish empire and were just annexed by USA. The map in the video showed it though but not explained. It is important to explain it because it caused more than 100 years of Moro rebellion and fight for independence that only was settled during the Duterte government with the establishment of Bangsamoro region.
I don't know much about it but my great grandmother told me when she was alive. What the Americans did to the Native Americans they also did to Sulu and Maguindanao. same approach. By the way sultan of buayan is one of my ancestors in my grandfather side😊.
One thing not being mentioned is during the Spanish becoming a Republic overthrowing the control of monarchy in Spain. The Republic of Spain sent a governor who made a lots of reform and allow the indigenous to allow equal status and respect their culture. This was the first and only governor of Spain send that does not used violence rather used a dialogue to cooperate with the Locals. However the republic of Spain short lived and the Governor was replaced by the Spain who is loyal to the Spanish monarchy. The fact that after he takes the place of as the Governor General of the Philippines. All of the reforms being done we're all abolished. Rather than to dialogue the new governor used violence. Which led to the execution of 3 Catholic Filipino Priest who was being blamed for the Cavite Mutiny. The plan of the Filipino soldiers to overthrow the Spanish Government in the Philippines. The execution of the three priest fueled the desire of Filipinos for independence rather than equal rights. Filipinos doesn't see themselves as different from Spain. But it was the fault of the people who wrongly govern the Philippines. Which led them to believe that this Spanish doesn't really considered them as human being itself.
Not even mentioning the "Galeon de Manila" the longest uninterrupted and steady commercial route in history shows the historical quality of this video, it was the most important reason for the Spanish to control the Filipines, the trade with China, not any of the reasons he is giving
Spain did not send criminals and prisoners to its territories overseas wtf, people even had to pass exams showing they were not criminal to be allowed to go many times
I have gained a significant amount of knowledge about Philippine history from this channel in a relatively short period of time, compared to the years I spent studying it in school.
Yes Spain never exactly constructed colonies that started with the engloids I think. Spain establish Viceroyalties which is an extension or duplicate of their authority’s kingdom population were citizens not coloniest examples viceroyalty of New Spain today’s Mexico viceroyalty of Peru today Peru. Copies of their government.
Philippines is one of my favourite respective nations ever and this is a fascinating history of the colonisation of the Spanish army ended in the year 1899 by the American army,good friends!!!LONG LIVE,PHILIPPINES!!!🇵🇭
@@uncleJan1 In the war after the declaration of independence of the Philippines, the USA massacred 10% of the population. Not many Filipinos know that since Hollywood didn't make any movies about it.
Knowledgia's cover of the Spanish Occupation of my country is well done, I hope they'll cover the American war and occupation tho, as the America really doesn't want to make it mainstream
Yeah he should make a video about the American occupation too. The Americans love to believe that they're always the heroes but their early actions in the Philippines are anything but "heroic".
It’s incredible to me how all of these so called European countries who spent centuries ‘ colonising’ these poor sick peoples astonishing wealth only to lose each and every land within 30 years and now have almost as tragic poverty in their Wealthy, Abusive states as they suffered back in the 1800s. Smh
@@theawesomeman9821Yikes. The "Insurgency" was in fact the legitimate and independent Republica Filipinas, which even the US recognized at some point until they went "fuck it, we're taking over now" and decided to shit on the newly freed Philippines. By the time of the Philippine-American War (no dear Yankee, it wasn't the "Philippine Insurrection" as your history books call it), the nation had a very young but nevertheless constitutional democratic (and by some accounts, a federal-form of governance as well) Republic that has secured support from majority of Luzon and Visayas regions, and even minor portions of Mindanao. It had it's own standing Army, written Constitution, Flag and Anthem, etc. By no means was it an Insurrection because the Americans were launching an Invasion, an Annexation, against a legitimate government which they themselves even recognized some year or two ago after the Spanish defeat. The underhanded Treaty of Paris was where things started to turn into shit, when the Americans secretly "bought" the Philippines, at that time a legitimate and independent republic, from Spain.
That's true. While it is usually said to have lasted from 1899 to 1902, the conflict continued in Mindanao until 1913. There were incidents of massacres on both the American and Filipino sides. The worst one was the American massacre of 1000 non-combatant Tausug people (men, women and children) in Jolo. They had retreated to the crater of an extinct volcano to escape the conflicts going on, but the American general, against orders from Washington DC, proceeded with the attack. Just a few kilometres up the hill from where I live in Lumbia, Cagayan de Oro City Mindanao, is Makahambus Cave. It's the site of the first victory by Filipino forces over the American Bluecoats in June 1900.
Great! I'm surprised that the video started precolonial to the contemporary era of the Philippines, since other videos about Philippine history weren't complete however, this video is like made by a Filipino historian!
Why Spanish wanted to sugarcoat their history so much? They did exploitations just like other colonial powers, and they made excuse with "viceroyalties treated them equally" blablabla
No they didn't. Everything bad that was happening in the Philippines was also happening in Spain. It wasn't like the Filipinos were treated any differently.
@@ardi08then why you don’t do a research for yourself? Spain built churches, hospitals and universities, what does USA did beside the genocide in Philippines?
The first Philippine republic is Asia's first constitutional republic. The Philippine revolutionary already controlled the majority of the archipelago before the deceitful American imperialist arrived, promising us full independence provided we fought the Spanish alongside them. You neglected to disclose that portion. So that's kind of disappointing.
Spanish should have maintained as one of the official national languages in the Philippines because it would have solved simmering ethnolinguistic rivalries between Tagalogs and the Visayans. The Americans intentionally removed Spanish from the primary and secondary public school curricula because they wanted to transform Filipinos into subservient Brown Americans.
Tagalogs planted their language where it isn't supposed to be, and forced us other countrymen to use it. "Colonialism mentality" my *rse, when they literally are doing worse than the Spanish. At least the Spanish priests made an effort to translate our languages. Not to mention that they are forcing Tagalog into academics as "Filipino" despite being a blatant lie and a propaganda piece. It isn't a coincidence that the largest cities and government funding of the country are all concentrated in the hands of the Tagalog (look at all the new shiny projects only for Metro Manila and Tagalog-dominated regions in Southern and Central Luzon).
13:29 Wrong. It should be "The Americans decided to act like they were the ones who defeated Spain even though the Filipino revolutionaries did MOST of the damage"
5:19 it's normally know as if the Spanish controlled the Dutch but in reality it was a civil war between the Dutch themselves, those who were and wanted to keep Catholic and those who wanted to be Protestant
Philippines is the only Spanish colony which do not have Spanish as its first or official language. Though many loan Spanish words are used, as well as English.
Spanish language was not predominantly used by Filipinos only borrowed words as the Spaniards learned their language because it's easier to conceal sensitive information as the natives didn't know it. It is done as the Philippines is very far from other Spanish colonies.

Philippines 🇵🇭 is probably my favorite country on earth. I hope one day they figure out their political issues. Is being part of the ASEAN a good thing to help work towards this? What are some facts of this being a good or bad thing?
Even today there is a recruiting office in Manila and probably others for military service in the United States. Many Pilipinos are members of the service with all the ranks and positions shared. They can be anything they want there without giving up their citizenship to the Phillipines. They are the only country that has those rights. They are a separate country but as close to family members as two countries can ever be. They took care of ours in WW-2 and even though independent now we’ve stayed close. We shall never forget them if they ever need us.

It because of the Americans and WW2. The US once it got the Philippines as its territory, outlawed the Spanish language, and sent “Thomasites” a group of English teachers. This was also the similar case to US territories like Louisiana (the US outlawed French, Cajun & Acadian languages). Ironically, the Spanish language was at its peak in the Philippines during early 1900s until the Commonwealth Government was established in 1935, which created the “Filipino” language. Then, WW2 came along and was the last blow, as the Japanese decimated the Spanish-speaking people in Manila.
There are factors why Philippines never became fully Spanish speaking. The first would be the native Austronesians were always by far the majority and there was no massive immigration of Spanish to the Philippines unlike what happened to Latin America so the Spanish language was mostly confined to the elite minority. Second would be the arrival of the Americans and their brainwashing and demonizing the Spanish language and replacing it with the English language. Third would be WW2 and the Japanese destroying the Spanish speaking district in Manila called Intramuros and it was like the core Spanish speaking area in the Philippines and the survivors fled the Philippines after WW2. Fourth would be the creation of the national language called Filipino which is based on Tagalog, a major Austronesian language spoken in southern Luzon and this national language is taught throughout the country.
Did you know that Philippines were influenced by Spain, like language a lot of Filipino have Spanish, and like culture too some Spanish cultures are also Philippines culture ❤
I wouldn't say a lot of Filipinos have Spanish ancestry; if you look it up, less than 2% actually have Spanish ancestry. They're mostly mixed with Chinese. The only reason they have Spanish last names is because they were ordered to take Spanish last names for government reasons.
The island of Bohol was mislabelled as Dapitan. Dapitan is located in Zamboanga del Norte, Northern part of the Western Mindanao Region. I should know because I am from Dapitan. My birthplace, my hometown.

As you can see there was no single entity that kept the entire archipelago together before the Spanish colonization. Thanks to Spain this land became the basis for our founding fathers claim of our nationhood. And so I think this is the greatest legacy Spain gave us more than anything else.
The weird thing about the Philippines is that less than 2% of the population has Spanish ancestry since the Spanish never really integrated with the locals, and the Philippines use mestizo differently than over here in Latin America; they use it for someone that also has Chinese ancestry, which is most of the Philippines, but you still see a lot of people on Twitter with the Spanish flag. You never see that over here in Latin America, and like 70% of Latin Americans have some Spanish ancestry.
This still lacks some details. Manila controlled trade in the archipelago and they've basically woven together a trading colony before Spanish contact. This became the blueprint for the Spanish colony, hence why Manila got chosen as the colonial capital, it wasn't a random choice.
7:18 Again you are missing the main historical point and confusing 19th century plantation colonies with 16th century. Filipines was used as the main Trade Hub to trade with China using the silver extracted in America, known as the "Galeon the Manila", not for planting coffee, which happened like 200 years later
The term Filipino during Spanish rule referred to Spaniards born in the Philippines while the natives were called Indios. However during the Philippine Revolution, the natives began calling themselves Filipinos, the current definition.
@@mememanbehindtheshadows546 But the fact is still that the American kicked out the spanish only to take over, then japan kicked out the american to get rid of non-asians in asia and took over, it was first after ww2 the philippines was truly an independent nation.
@@mememanbehindtheshadows546 ishin shishi alone would sadly still not change the course of the war, and is not worth risking the young Japanese empire into an early ruthless Pacific showdown.
The Philippines should be trilingual: English, Tagalog and Spanish Filipinas debería ser trilingue: Ingles, Tagalo y Español Dapat trilingual ang Pilipinas: English, Tagalog at Spanish
A 'brief' war with the US? The Philippine-American War, which took nearly 200,000 lives, lasted nearly as long as WWII did for the Americans against Japan and Germany; would we call WWII a brief war?
I'm a Filipino and I can't help but wonder what would have happened if the country had a unified central govt before the Spaniards and other imperialist colonizers arrived? Such was the case with the other archipelagic country up north, Japan, who were able to rebuff the Portuguese and other colonizers easily. In the process of colonizing the country, Legaspi used divide and conquer pitting one province against the other. Revolts were suppressed by using native troops from one area against another. The result is that to this day, there is lingering suspicion about ulterior motives. Since Japan (and Germany as well) resolved their wars of unification the old fashioned way - by bloodshed - the Filipinos should have fought and bled until one datu or sultan reigned supreme (a kind of shared national trauma). Unfortunately, this never happened. Could it have happened? I don't know.

Could you please cover the Philippines under American rule? So many interesting things happened during that era: Baseball and electricity were introduced to the Philippines. Some alphabets were created by American colonials for Filipino tribal groups who had none. America's fight against various Filipino insurgents was a lot like "Game of Thrones" where insurgent factions betrayed and sabatoged one another because they cared more about consolidating power for themselves than driving out the Americans. WWII hero, Douglass MacArthur grew up in the Philippines while his father was the governor who modernized the region. The last US Calvary battle to be fought on horseback was in the Philippines during WWII. The movement for US statehood was more popular than desiring independence but lost because American politicians refused to admit the Philippines to the union due to racism.
Wow, you make it sound like the US were heroes. You cited a lot of silly things that the americans "blessed" our people with but forget the 200,000 civilian casualties, the Balangiga, Moro and Badjao massacres which specifically targeted these tribes for genocide. While we do appreciate the US purchasing our land from the spanish in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, the least thing they could do while they plundered and exploited our natural resources was treat our people as people and not cattle. So yeah, thanks uncle Sam for teaching us baseball.
@@martinbernardo6676 Most of that 200,000 casualties were due to Filipino on Filipino violence. Rival insurgents targeted each other more than the Americans.
@@theawesomeman9821 Oh sure, go ahead and tell yourself that. So u know better about Filipino history than actual Filipinos? U know better than the written historical records?
6:00 I think you mistake the "British" politics and mentality from the 19th century over their colonies with the Spanish politics and mentality from 16th century which have nothing to do. I see your videos have a big effort but you really miss on the History part. 1-. Most of the exploited resources were kept in the origin territories for their own development (or do you think all those hospitals, universities and schools were free?). Barely 1/5 of all the extracted gold and silver arrived to Spain. 2-. Overpopulation relief? Spain was really UNDERPOPULATED in comparison to other European countries, why would they send their few population far away? 3-. Colonial prestige? They were already the 1st world power dominating a big part of Europe, nearly all of America and its trade, why would conquering some unknown (in Europe) kingdoms in Filipines give them prestige? You are confusing the 19th colonial mentality with the 16th century mentality.

The Republic of Spain sent a governor who made a lots of reform and allow the indigenous to allow equal status and respect their culture. This was the first and only governor of Spain send that does not used violence rather used a dialogue to cooperate with the Locals. However the republic of Spain short lived and the Governor was replaced by the Spain who is loyal to the Spanish monarchy. The fact that after he takes the place of as the Governor General of the Philippines. All of the reforms being done we're all abolished. Rather than to dialogue the new governor used violence. Which led to the execution of 3 Catholic Filipino Priest who was being blamed for the Cavite Mutiny. The plan of the Filipino soldiers to overthrow the Spanish Government in the Philippines. The execution of the three priest fueled the desire of Filipinos for independence rather than equal rights.
Filipinos doesn't see themselves as different from Spain. But it was the fault of the people who wrongly govern the Philippines. Which led them to believe that this Spanish doesn't really considered them as human being itself.
Filipines - Spain independence war ended into a treaty which recognised Filipines same as any other Spanish province
El primer barco español que llegó a las islas que después se llamaría Filipinas, fue la expedición de Magallanes, un saludo desde Perú 🇵🇪
Not even mentioning the "Galeon de Manila" the longest uninterrupted and steady commercial route in history shows the historical quality of this video, it was the most important reason for the Spanish to control the Filipines, the trade with China, not any of the reasons he is giving
Thank You. ❤
Welcome!
Spain did not send criminals and prisoners to its territories overseas wtf, people even had to pass exams showing they were not criminal to be allowed to go many times
Seems quite a number of distortions in this video that continue the leyenda negra against Spain!
They also brought indigenous people who were hispanicized
I love the Philippines ❤✝
I have gained a significant amount of knowledge about Philippine history from this channel in a relatively short period of time, compared to the years I spent studying it in school.
Super informative video about modern history of Phillipines....thanks
Which is incorrect
The Philippines was a Spanish colony longer than the USA has been independent! Thats insane! 378 years!
Yes Spain never exactly constructed colonies that started with the engloids I think. Spain establish Viceroyalties which is an extension or duplicate of their authority’s kingdom population were citizens not coloniest examples viceroyalty of New Spain today’s Mexico viceroyalty of Peru today Peru. Copies of their government.
333, not 376
to use the ward colony is wrong, for Spain always was Provincia.-

Philippines is one of my favourite respective nations ever and this is a fascinating history of the colonisation of the Spanish army ended in the year 1899 by the American army,good friends!!!LONG LIVE,PHILIPPINES!!!🇵🇭
Some fitties for sure 😂
The Filipino-American war that followed and lasted 3 years cost hundreds of thousand Filipino lives, great friends indeed!
@@uncleJan1 In the war after the declaration of independence of the Philippines, the USA massacred 10% of the population. Not many Filipinos know that since Hollywood didn't make any movies about it.

He didn't want independence from Spain though.

Knowledgia's cover of the Spanish Occupation of my country is well done, I hope they'll cover the American war and occupation tho, as the America really doesn't want to make it mainstream
Yeah he should make a video about the American occupation too. The Americans love to believe that they're always the heroes but their early actions in the Philippines are anything but "heroic".
Occupational is a stretch 🎉😂😂😂
It’s incredible to me how all of these so called European countries who spent centuries ‘ colonising’ these poor sick peoples astonishing wealth only to lose each and every land within 30 years and now have almost as tragic poverty in their Wealthy, Abusive states as they suffered back in the 1800s. Smh
Americans never fought a war against the Philippines. They fought Filipino insurgents. There is a difference.
@@theawesomeman9821Yikes. The "Insurgency" was in fact the legitimate and independent Republica Filipinas, which even the US recognized at some point until they went "fuck it, we're taking over now" and decided to shit on the newly freed Philippines. By the time of the Philippine-American War (no dear Yankee, it wasn't the "Philippine Insurrection" as your history books call it), the nation had a very young but nevertheless constitutional democratic (and by some accounts, a federal-form of governance as well) Republic that has secured support from majority of Luzon and Visayas regions, and even minor portions of Mindanao. It had it's own standing Army, written Constitution, Flag and Anthem, etc. By no means was it an Insurrection because the Americans were launching an Invasion, an Annexation, against a legitimate government which they themselves even recognized some year or two ago after the Spanish defeat. The underhanded Treaty of Paris was where things started to turn into shit, when the Americans secretly "bought" the Philippines, at that time a legitimate and independent republic, from Spain.
The Philippine American war was not brief according to what I have read. It is rarely mentioned as a war at all in the U S .
That's true. While it is usually said to have lasted from 1899 to 1902, the conflict continued in Mindanao until 1913. There were incidents of massacres on both the American and Filipino sides. The worst one was the American massacre of 1000 non-combatant Tausug people (men, women and children) in Jolo. They had retreated to the crater of an extinct volcano to escape the conflicts going on, but the American general, against orders from Washington DC, proceeded with the attack. Just a few kilometres up the hill from where I live in Lumbia, Cagayan de Oro City Mindanao, is Makahambus Cave. It's the site of the first victory by Filipino forces over the American Bluecoats in June 1900.

The first Philippine republic is Asia's first constitutional republic. The Philippine revolutionary already controlled the majority of the archipelago before the deceitful American imperialist arrived, promising us full independence provided we fought the Spanish alongside them. You neglected to disclose that portion. So that's kind of disappointing.

Spanish should have maintained as one of the official national languages in the Philippines because it would have solved simmering ethnolinguistic rivalries between Tagalogs and the Visayans. The Americans intentionally removed Spanish from the primary and secondary public school curricula because they wanted to transform Filipinos into subservient Brown Americans.
The reason why I hate the Tagalogs for planting their language where it is not supposed to be and forcing us others to deal with it.
Tagalogs planted their language where it isn't supposed to be, and forced us other countrymen to use it. "Colonialism mentality" my *rse, when they literally are doing worse than the Spanish. At least the Spanish priests made an effort to translate our languages. Not to mention that they are forcing Tagalog into academics as "Filipino" despite being a blatant lie and a propaganda piece. It isn't a coincidence that the largest cities and government funding of the country are all concentrated in the hands of the Tagalog (look at all the new shiny projects only for Metro Manila and Tagalog-dominated regions in Southern and Central Luzon).
Spanish was never an official national language. Only the elites could understand Spanish.
@@Ariverfish

Are you proud of being colonized by the Westerner? Where is your dignity as a Filipino??
13:29 Wrong. It should be "The Americans decided to act like they were the ones who defeated Spain even though the Filipino revolutionaries did MOST of the damage"
Love Philippines 🇵🇭 from Mexico 🇲🇽
5:19 it's normally know as if the Spanish controlled the Dutch but in reality it was a civil war between the Dutch themselves, those who were and wanted to keep Catholic and those who wanted to be Protestant
Philippines is the only Spanish colony which do not have Spanish as its first or official language.
Though many loan Spanish words are used, as well as English.
Yes, the Americans did their job overwriting Spanish influence mainly business and language
I like the way you labeled ilocos region as samtoy also meaning sao mi ditoy or "our language here"
It would be cool if Spanish was more dominant than english
English vowels have more pronunciation than Spanish
En el continente Américano todos hablan español pero muy raros hablan inglés
Spanish language was not predominantly used by Filipinos only borrowed words as the Spaniards learned their language because it's easier to conceal sensitive information as the natives didn't know it. It is done as the Philippines is very far from other Spanish colonies.
What they didn't tell anyone is that the land was rich in gold, people were using and adorned with gold stuffs.
well presented, thank you

Interesting!
Make a part 2.. Philippines under American occupation
Even today there is a recruiting office in Manila and probably others for military service in the United States. Many Pilipinos are members of the service with all the ranks and positions shared. They can be anything they want there without giving up their citizenship to the Phillipines. They are the only country that has those rights. They are a separate country but as close to family members as two countries can ever be. They took care of ours in WW-2 and even though independent now we’ve stayed close. We shall never forget them if they ever need us.

Blame the americans, I love Poland as well! Catholic brothers
Due to the repression of the Americans and then the Japanese, the Spanish also did not usually impose their language
It because of the Americans and WW2. The US once it got the Philippines as its territory, outlawed the Spanish language, and sent “Thomasites” a group of English teachers. This was also the similar case to US territories like Louisiana (the US outlawed French, Cajun & Acadian languages). Ironically, the Spanish language was at its peak in the Philippines during early 1900s until the Commonwealth Government was established in 1935, which created the “Filipino” language. Then, WW2 came along and was the last blow, as the Japanese decimated the Spanish-speaking people in Manila.
There are factors why Philippines never became fully Spanish speaking. The first would be the native Austronesians were always by far the majority and there was no massive immigration of Spanish to the Philippines unlike what happened to Latin America so the Spanish language was mostly confined to the elite minority. Second would be the arrival of the Americans and their brainwashing and demonizing the Spanish language and replacing it with the English language. Third would be WW2 and the Japanese destroying the Spanish speaking district in Manila called Intramuros and it was like the core Spanish speaking area in the Philippines and the survivors fled the Philippines after WW2. Fourth would be the creation of the national language called Filipino which is based on Tagalog, a major Austronesian language spoken in southern Luzon and this national language is taught throughout the country.

6,000 Spanish words in Philippine language
I wouldn't say a lot of Filipinos have Spanish ancestry; if you look it up, less than 2% actually have Spanish ancestry. They're mostly mixed with Chinese. The only reason they have Spanish last names is because they were ordered to take Spanish last names for government reasons.
The island of Bohol was mislabelled as Dapitan. Dapitan is located in Zamboanga del Norte, Northern part of the Western Mindanao Region. I should know because I am from Dapitan. My birthplace, my hometown.

Charles (Carlos) V from Germany, but I from Spain. In this case as you are talking about Spain i think you should call him Charles (Carlos) the first.
Taiwan is also a part of the Philippines under the Portuguese era.... That's Formosa.....
As you can see there was no single entity that kept the entire archipelago together before the Spanish colonization. Thanks to Spain this land became the basis for our founding fathers claim of our nationhood.
And so I think this is the greatest legacy Spain gave us more than anything else.
nice jud ang storya sa pilipinas, unta makabalo ang tanan nga mao ni atong lugar nga daghan involve dapat lang atong balikan
The weird thing about the Philippines is that less than 2% of the population has Spanish ancestry since the Spanish never really integrated with the locals, and the Philippines use mestizo differently than over here in Latin America; they use it for someone that also has Chinese ancestry, which is most of the Philippines, but you still see a lot of people on Twitter with the Spanish flag. You never see that over here in Latin America, and like 70% of Latin Americans have some Spanish ancestry.
This still lacks some details. Manila controlled trade in the archipelago and they've basically woven together a trading colony before Spanish contact. This became the blueprint for the Spanish colony, hence why Manila got chosen as the colonial capital, it wasn't a random choice.
7:18 Again you are missing the main historical point and confusing 19th century plantation colonies with 16th century. Filipines was used as the main Trade Hub to trade with China using the silver extracted in America, known as the "Galeon the Manila", not for planting coffee, which happened like 200 years later
Waiting for Part 3
Did you know that Philippines were colonized by Spain over 300 years!❤
Will there be a part 3-4? Up to modern day?
Jose Rizal was never a member of ‘Katipunan’(please correct that); it was Andres Bonifacio, the leader of the ‘Katipunan’.
The term Filipino during Spanish rule referred to Spaniards born in the Philippines while the natives were called Indios. However during the Philippine Revolution, the natives began calling themselves Filipinos, the current definition.
Thanks to Americans who spread protestantism that changed a supertitious approach to innovative thinking . . .
I thought the Spaniards weren't able to conquer most parts of the Cordillera region?
The problem was, when the colonisers left, the local landed gentry stepped right into the colonizers' shoes.

A 'brief' war with the US? The Philippine-American War, which took nearly 200,000 lives, lasted nearly as long as WWII did for the Americans against Japan and Germany; would we call WWII a brief war?
I'm a Filipino and I can't help but wonder what would have happened if the country had a unified central govt before the Spaniards and other imperialist colonizers arrived? Such was the case with the other archipelagic country up north, Japan, who were able to rebuff the Portuguese and other colonizers easily. In the process of colonizing the country, Legaspi used divide and conquer pitting one province against the other. Revolts were suppressed by using native troops from one area against another. The result is that to this day, there is lingering suspicion about ulterior motives. Since Japan (and Germany as well) resolved their wars of unification the old fashioned way - by bloodshed - the Filipinos should have fought and bled until one datu or sultan reigned supreme (a kind of shared national trauma). Unfortunately, this never happened. Could it have happened? I don't know.

Could you please cover the Philippines under American rule?
So many interesting things happened during that era:
Baseball and electricity were introduced to the Philippines.
Some alphabets were created by American colonials for Filipino tribal groups who had none.
America's fight against various Filipino insurgents was a lot like "Game of Thrones" where insurgent factions betrayed and sabatoged one another because they cared more about consolidating power for themselves than driving out the Americans.
WWII hero, Douglass MacArthur grew up in the Philippines while his father was the governor who modernized the region.
The last US Calvary battle to be fought on horseback was in the Philippines during WWII.
The movement for US statehood was more popular than desiring independence but lost because American politicians refused to admit the Philippines to the union due to racism.
Wow, you make it sound like the US were heroes. You cited a lot of silly things that the americans "blessed" our people with but forget the 200,000 civilian casualties, the Balangiga, Moro and Badjao massacres which specifically targeted these tribes for genocide.
While we do appreciate the US purchasing our land from the spanish in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, the least thing they could do while they plundered and exploited our natural resources was treat our people as people and not cattle.

6:00 I think you mistake the "British" politics and mentality from the 19th century over their colonies with the Spanish politics and mentality from 16th century which have nothing to do. I see your videos have a big effort but you really miss on the History part.
1-. Most of the exploited resources were kept in the origin territories for their own development (or do you think all those hospitals, universities and schools were free?). Barely 1/5 of all the extracted gold and silver arrived to Spain.
2-. Overpopulation relief? Spain was really UNDERPOPULATED in comparison to other European countries, why would they send their few population far away?
3-. Colonial prestige? They were already the 1st world power dominating a big part of Europe, nearly all of America and its trade, why would conquering some unknown (in Europe) kingdoms in Filipines give them prestige?
You are confusing the 19th colonial mentality with the 16th century mentality.
