Whilst Sulu regarded Islam as influence that were adapted to their pre-existing non-Islamic beliefs that has changed their belief system as …show more content…
Therefore, it was not impossible that Aceh had already strong hold in their Islamic religion as it continued to spread to the eastern part and all over the Indonesian archipelago that were to Java, Maluku, Sulawesi as well as Kalimantan. On the other hand, Sulu was impossible for this matter as the gap of Spanish arrival with influence of Islam was only one years and at that time Sulu was still in the middle of development and strengthen their religion. In the meantime, Spanish was already embed policy of Christianization to the other parts of Philippines and soon the Sulu was one of the aim, with the Spanish-American War it had delayed this aim and later resulted to the cession of territories by Spain in the treaty of Paris in 1899. Nonetheless, America was one head with Spanish. Colonial rule since they have different date of arrival, hence, some successful and some were not. This can be seen from the grip strength of Islam propagated in Aceh and
Scholars typically cite imperialism as a primary cause of World War I, and though controversial, America was no stranger to the practice. In 1898, the United States won the Spanish American War, resulting in the Paris Treaty. America gained several formerly Spanish colonies from their victory, and through the Treaty of Paris, they annexed the Philippines. Filipino insurgents, who had fought for the Philippines ' independence, rebelled against the annexation. This led to the Philippine-American War. However, not all Americans supported the annexation. In fact, the Paris Treaty passed by only one vote, and anti-imperialists such as Mark Twain contended with pro-imperialists like Theodore Roosevelt. Despite the debate, the United States should not have annexed the Philippines, because the decision was unnecessary, hypocritical, and tyrannical.
In 1469, there was the royal marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile united those two kingdoms, which eventually led to the creation of Spain. The last Muslim stronghold fell in the year 1492 from this moment onward; Spain’s history reached a period of economic and political profligacy which was accompanied by both international and civilian wars. According to a blog posted by Jose Martiniez, “the 19th century would mark an important part of Spanish history with the loss of important Spanish territories and the collapse of the Spanish Empire.” According to donquijote.org , the independence attained by Spanish territories in the “Americas, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, significantly shaped the world and modern Spanish history”. Although Spain is a relatively small territory located in southwestern Europe, the history of Spain is of grandeur and is strikingly different from that of the rest of the
The ending of the Spanish-American War left the United States with a controversial question. Many debates rose throughout the U.S. about whether the Philippine Islands should be annexed or not. The Philippines fought along side with the United States against Spanish to gain their independence. The annexation of the Philippine Islands would be unjustified and an act of tyranny. The decision done by the U.S. to annex the Philippines would rise uncertainty between the two countries.
Another victory through the Treaty of Paris was the possession of the Philippines. Though the Filipino independence leader Emilio Aguinaldo had aided in the defeat of Spain in 1898, USA refused independence to the Islands and a vicious three year war ensued. A civil government was created after the capture of Aguinaldo under William Taft and this showed a drastic change in American foreign policy. They could no longer justify interference with the excuse of the islands being within its sphere of influence but McKinley argued that America had the role to “uplift and civilize and christianize [Filipinos] as our fellow-men for whom Christ also died." McKinley was either unaware or simply chose not to inform the people that, except for some Muslim tribesmen in the south, the Filipinos were Roman Catholics, and, therefore, already Christians. In reality, the annexation of the Philippines was the centerpiece of the "large policy" pushed by the imperialist cabal to enlist the United States in the ranks of the great powers.
During 16th through 18th century, Southern and Western Asia was the home of three prominent Muslim Empires: the Ottoman Empire, the Mughal Empire, and the Safavid Empire. The Ottoman Empire founded in the late 13th century was located in the northwestern corner of the Anatolian Peninsula, and gradually expanded westward. The Mughal Empire was also founded in the 16th century, and was viewed as the highest point of traditional culture in India. The Safavid Empire was founded at the beginning of the 16th century, and was located in Persia. Religious diversity in these three Islamic empires changed drastically throughout the rulers of those empires. Although many rulers tolerated religious diversity, some refused religious diversity all together.
During Spain’s reign as the leading force in Europe, their social rise and fall materialized from religion and unity. Nationalism was important for most countries because it helped connect the people to their kingdom. Spain was no exception. As the soon-to-be empire began to explore, they conquered many individuals and places, such as the Aztecs or Incans. This instilled a sense of pride in the people of Spain. Because of victories in battles such as the Battle of Lepanto, in which the Spanish Empire defeated the Ottoman Empire, the Spanish united in the belief that their people were the greatest. They were also bound by their thoughts on Christianity and that they should be the ones to spread the religion. On the other hand, Spain’s empire was separated by religious tensions and the expulsion of other religions. Violence towards other religions was common in this time, and rulers such as Ferdinand and Isabella decided to rid their empire of the Jews and the Muslims. They began the Spanish
The U.S. was viewed as the runner up in the pursuit of religious imperialism. Be that as it may, it was the American missionaries operating beneath the advocacy of the American Board, the aboriginal and the active American abbot establishment, which afflicted the Ottoman lands, about the end of the nineteenth century, in degree, amount, proficiency, and property. Before the nineteenth century, the Ottoman lands were easily accessible to outsiders, giving American missionaries entrance into the land. The Ottoman Empire also contained a variety of religious systems during this period. Such religions included Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and Catholicism. American missionaries deceitfully convinced the Turks that they would not target the Muslims during their missionary work. Their real intentions were in fact to convert the Muslims to Christianity. To the Ottomans, this would be viewed as apostacy and would potentially result in death.
