inspiring countless revolutionaries to fight for independence.

1898 - Assassination of Antonio Cánovas del Castillo - “Canovas death marked a crucial
moment for Spain, revealing the political tensions and the inability of Spanish authorities to
effectively control their colonies. His assassination underscored the fragility of Spain’s rule,
particularly in the face of mounting nationalist sentiment in the Philippines and Cuba” (Page
169) "Cánovas understood the message, but he was also convinced that Cuba would not
merely drive him from power... it would also destroy the cacique democracy" (Page 146)​.
“Following Rizal’s death, and the subsequent assassination of Cánovas, Spain responded with
increased military presence and harsh measures against the nationalist movements in the
colonies” (Page 173) “The assassination of Cánovas and the execution of Rizal prompted a new
phase in the Philippine Revolution. The revolutionary leaders, inspired by Rizal’s death, sought
to unify various factions and push for more aggressive strategies against Spanish rule” (Page
181)​.

1897 - Biak na Bato pact thingy - “Aguinaldo and his officers agreed to leave for Hong Kong with
400,000 pesos, receiving another 400,000 upon the surrender of their arms. This agreement
was not fully implemented as the Spanish authorities failed to meet all conditions, leading to
continued revolutionary activities” (Page 170). "At the end of the year, it had been agreed that
the rebels would lay down their arms... Aguinaldo and his officers would leave for Hong Kong
with 400,000 pesetas in their pockets" (Page 204)​.
April 25, 1898 - sinking of the USS Maine and start of Spain and America war - “The conflict
between Spain and the United States officially began with the U.S. declaring war on April 25,
1898, after the sinking of the USS Maine. The war’s expansion to the Philippines made the U.S.
a key player in the struggle for control of the archipelago” (Page 187). "The outbreak of war
between Spain and the United States in April 1898 transformed the situation dramatically" “The
outbreak of the Spanish-American War at the end of April 1898 transformed the situation
dramatically, with the U.S. entering the conflict and establishing a new front in the Philippines.
This shift intensified the conflict, making the revolutionaries reevaluate their strategies and
alliances” (page 204)

May 1, 1898 - Battle of Manila Bay - “On May 1, Dewey’s fleet engaged and destroyed the
Spanish fleet in Manila Bay. This was a decisive victory that gave the U.S. a critical foothold in
the Philippines, marking the beginning of American occupation” (Page 188) . "On May 1,
Commodore Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet within sight of Manila’s shoreline"

June 12, 1898 - “Aguinaldo declared Philippine independence on June 12, 1898, from the
balcony of his home in Kawit, Cavite. This event was marked by the raising of the Philippine flag
and the playing of the national anthem, despite the ongoing presence of U.S. troops in the area”
(Page 192) .

December 10, 1898 - treaty of paris - “The Treaty of Paris was signed on December 10, 1898,
officially ceding the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico to the United States. This marked the
end of Spanish rule and the beginning of American colonialism in the Philippines” (Page 206) .
"At the end of the year the Treaty of Paris was signed between the US and Spain by which
Madrid 'sold' the colony to Washington for $20 million" (Page 206)​.

While Rizal's execution was a pivotal moment in the Philippine Revolution, it is important
to recognize the contributions of other Filipino heroes and the complex interplay of various
factors that led to the Philippine-American War and the eventual American occupation of the
Philippines.

On August 20, 1897, Michele Angiolillo, the assassin of Spanish Prime Minister Antonio
Cánovas, was sentenced to death and executed by garrote. This event was significant as it
highlighted the political turmoil within Spain and the ripple effects across its colonies, including
the Philippines. “Michele Angiolillo was sentenced to death and garroted on August 20, 1897.
His execution was a stark reminder of the widespread unrest and the radical actions taken by
those opposed to Spanish control” (Page 186)​

Twelve days after Rizal's death, twelve prominent Filipinos, “led by" the millionaire
Francisco Roxas, went before a firing squad at the place where the novelist had died. Weyler's
no had arrived in Manila.” But Polavieja’s main task was to crush the rebellion militarily, and in
this he was successful except in the hilly province of Cavite. There his troops were held up by a
complex system of trenches and fortifications, planned and built on the small orders of Rizal's
former protégé Edilberto Evangelista, back from Ghent with a civil engineering degree in his
pocket.” The political consequence of Polavicja's offensive was to force Bonifacio out of the
Manila area where his authority was undisputed and into Cavite,a province unfamiliar to him and
famous for the clannishness of its people." There he ran afoul of an ambitious caviteno clique
led by Emilio Aguinaldo, the 27-year-old mayor of township of Kawit. Aguinaldo belonged
neither 1o the highly educated ilustrado elite exemplified by Rizal, nor to the often autodidact
Manila artisanat, like Bonifacio. His Spanish was mediocre, but he was a member of the
commercial-farming, medium landowning provincial gentry. and his family was widely connected
in the Cavite region.
