@@francoq2768A better name for that war would be the sugarcane war. A continuation of the Hawaii take over. Look at the real estate that changed hands, the resulting corporations that dominated, (and still do) and the instant focus of eventual sovereignty over the potential political power of 12% to 15% (currently it would be 25%+-) of the US house of representatives.
Pa ligoy ligoy na ang pagsasalaysay, pa ulit ulit ang ilang sinasabi sa video, ang sakit sa ulo. paki latag po ng maayos ang mga historical facts or agreement ng mga scholars tsaka interpretasyon. Facts, analysis, facts, analysis etc.. tapos synthesis/conclusion. Ayun lang po.
It's sad to hear you refer to Spain as the Spanish colonial empire. Spain never created colonies. Spain created viceroyalties and captaincies general, as did the Romans with provinces. The objective of a colony is to plunder the resources of the area, as the English or French did in their colonies. Spain created universities, hospitals, schools, brought technology and Christianized the population. Since 1504 as Isabella of Castile left in her will: Every native of the conquered territory was Spanish as anyone in the peninsula with same rights. Philippines was not a Colony, Philippines was Spain. For instance Spain always intermarried with the natives, that is why today the Philippines, Mexico, Peru and so many other countries are a mixture of races. The Americans did not allow intermarriage until 1967. That is why there are hardly any natives left alive in the USA or Australia. Not saying that Spaniards did everything well and life was easy, but in 1550-1800 life was not easy anywhere. In Europe, people died of hunger too... Anyway, good video. I always enjoy learning more about our Filipino brothers. Greets from Spain.
