Reaction Paper of Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo

When Vargas died in 1705 after repossessing the governorship in 1703, he was succeeded by Governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdes. Governor Cuervo y Valdes campaigned for a more militant approach against the indigenous tribes, predominantly the Navajos, whose troublesome acts were thought to be influencing the Pueblos to resist the Spanish’s reoccupation. Cuervo in June 1705 launched successive offensive attacks against the Gila Apaches, coming back to the Navajos, who were stealing cattle from settlers and missionaries. Cuervo stated that the Navajos were troublesome because of the “continuous wars that they have carried on from the conquest of this kingdom [1598] until the general uprising of the year 1680 and which they have continued from

From this time to around 1813, the Chileans who supported this idea of independence from Spain began to peacefully change their government. However, there was a controversy amongst some Chileans on how far the

After ten years of civil war and the death of two of its founders, by early 1820 the independence movement was stalemated and close to collapse. The rebels faced stiff Spanish military resistance and the apathy of many of the most influential criollos. The violent excesses and populist zeal of Hidalgo 's and Morelos 's irregular armies had reinforced many criollos ' fears of race and class warfare, ensuring their grudging acquiescence to conservative Spanish rule until a less bloody path to independence could be found. It was at this juncture that the machinations of a conservative military caudillo coinciding with a successful liberal rebellion in Spain, made possible a radical realignment of the proindependence forces. Vicente Guerror, planned to combine independence, monarchy, the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Church, and the civil equality of the creoles and peninsulares.

The Great Pueblo revolt of 1680 all started with the droughts of 1660 when the Southwest had severe drought that brought famine and disease. During this, hungry Apaches who couldn’t find food on plains attacked the pueblos. This angered the people on the pueblos, but there new leader Pope’, a mysterious medicine doctor, tried to keep the Indian beliefs around and resisted the Christian religion. The Spaniards hated this, so they captured his older brother. This enraged Pope’ against the Spaniards so he held meetings to tell everybody that the Spaniards must leave. The

Have you ever heard the legend about La Llorona known as “The Weeping Women”?Do you hear that? Do you hear that crying noise? People say that if you hear her cry expect death! La Llorona is real, even though people say she is she is an urban legend. There has been sightings of her in many places.

Francisco Vasquez de Coronado was he a hero or a villain? I would say a villain. He set out to find a city of gold and riches. He soon found out that there wasn’t a city of gold. Instead he found something else. He found new villages and land, also new historical lands.

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.

This paper is about Bernardo de Galvez and his support of the patriots. He led battles, he helped the Patriots in many ways and was an awesome guy. Bernardo was a very interesting man his early life, adult life and the way he was important to the Revolutionary War.

William Mckinley was the president that actually annexed the Philippines. He had a belief that the Filipinos needed the governing of America to become civil because they could not govern themselves and the the U.S had a christian motive to “help” and lift the Filipinos. (Doc 3) Many of these ideas were reflected in the “March of the Flag” speech, in which they advocated that the united states had the permission

The Filipino people had helped the US fight the Spanish-American War in hope to gain independence in return. However, instead of gaining independence the Philippines was annexed to the United States on December 10, 1898. When the Filipino’s had found they were going to be ruled over once again they were very unhappy, after all they had helped the US. When Aguinaldo had found out that the Philippines were going to be controlled by the US, he had declared war on the United States.

There can be no doubt that we had full knowledge that they were fighting for their own independence.” The United States understands that the Filipinos wants their own independence but still annexed the Philippine because they think it was the right thing to do without asking the Filipinos what they want and their

Bernardo de Galvez was born on July 23, 1746, in Macharaviaya, Spain. He was part of a very distinguished family in the royal service of Spain, and following family tradition, went into the military. At the age of sixteen, Galvez became a captain, and in the following years, he fought Portugal and then went to New Spain, where he eventually became the leader of some military forces. He later returned to Spain and continued to do various military work until 1776, when he was transferred to the province of Louisiana, and after one year, became governor. Galvez began helping the Americans before Spain even declared war on Britain. He provided a lot of supplies including money, ammunition, food, guns, and clothing, and also secured the Mississippi

The bald red, white, and blue eagle of American Democracy is coming for you Phillipines, run while you can! Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, was so infatuated with the idea of democracy, and he wanted every country to have a little taste of American freedom! After America's victory in the Spanish American War, George Dewey and his 11,000 American troops marched into manila and were unsure whether to liberate or occupy the filipino people. Thinking the they were here to help, the Filipino rebels trusted the Americans, but were soon betrayed as Dewey decided to occupy the land. The United States had three choices to determine what they wanted to do with the Philippines: Give it back to Spain, Give the filipino people their freedom, or to annex the whole country itself. With much debate ranging from artists, influential citizens, and government officials, the US ultimately decided it would annex! The United States should not have annexed the Philippines but rather should have given them their independence. While others may think the annexation of the Philippines would have benefited them, what the Philippines really needed was

The only thing that we can say in the Spanish colonization is that we felt different emotions. We felt angry because the Spaniards abused the Filipino they treated them as slaves. We felt sad because their are many Filipinos sacrificed their own lives just for the

            Third, Spain did not protect the people against foreign invaders and pirates.  With no arms to defend themselves, the natives were killed, their houses burned, and their lands destroyed.  As a result of this, the Filipinos were forced to become nomads, lost interest in cultivating their lands or in rebuilding the industries that were shut down, and simply became submissive to the mercy of God.
