INTRODUCTION

The Cavite Mutiny of 1872 was a significant event in Philippine history that highlighted
tensions between Spanish colonial authorities and Filipino citizens. There are differing accounts
of the mutiny and its causes. According to some Spanish perspectives, it was a large conspiracy
among educated Filipinos, mestizos, and the native clergy to overthrow Spanish rule. However,
other Filipino perspectives characterize it as a small-scale mutiny by dissatisfied workers and
soldiers in response to the abolition of their privileges and harsh policies. The execution of
three Filipino priests further inflamed nationalist sentiment. While the causes and scale of the
mutiny are still debated, it is agreed that it marked an important step toward greater Filipino
resistance and calls
