The idea of nationalism did not only spread in Europe but also in other colonies. In the West Indies the idea spread like wild fire and led to the revolutions of the Latin American colonies

In the East, the news of the Enlightenment along with its ideologies came in rapidly with the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869.

By the 19th century Spain experienced changes which would have its effects into its colonies.

Spain was under France at the time if the Napoleonic empire. The War of Independence against the French invaders would be the first step towards the formation of a constitutional government

The Constitution of 1812 was proclaimed at Cadiz by the Liberal Cortes.

But Fernando VII quickly returned to absolute government

and the Liberals again suffered.

After Fernando’s death in 1833, he was succeeded by his infant daughter Isabel under the regency of his mother Queen Maria Cristina.

This broke the ire of the “Carlist” the supporters of the Don Carlos.

Maria Cristina managed to get the support of the Liberals and the rivalry broke into a Civil war.

The Liberals did not want the existing condition of the Spanish churches back then.

1834 and in 1835 mobs burned down religious houses and murdered priests. The Jesuit were suppressed and the there properties where confiscated.

1836 monasteries and convents were closed down and their properties sold.

In the 19th century, Spain opened the Philippines to world trade and that stimulated a remarkable progress in commerce, agriculture and industry. Records show that foreign investors were permitted to do business in Manila as early as 1809

criticize the friars“myopic pygmies who, assured the present,

fail to project their vision into the future; sickly nurses, corrupted and corrupting, engaged in stifling all legitimate sentiments and who by perverting the heart of the people, sow among them the seeds of discord, later reap the harvest, wolf’s-bane, the death of the future generation”

Rizal would be the one to galvanize the different sentiments into a single focused nationalist effort..

He wrote “El amor patrio”

On the night of July 3, 1892, at a house in Tondo, Rizal founded and inaugurated La Liga Filipina. Elected were Ambrosio Salvador, President; Agustin de la Rosa, Fiscal; Bonifacio Arevalo, Treasurer; and Deodato Arellano, Secretary.

This constituted a forward step in the reformist ideas of the times in the sense that the new group sought to involve the people directly in the reform movement. Many elements of society who were anxious for change were attracted to the Liga, among them, Andres Bonifacio who became one of the founders of the organization.
