In 1872, the government of the succeeding governor-general Rafael de Izquierdo was leashed by a bloody uprising of Filipino soldiers at the Fort San Felipe arsenal in Cavite el Viejo. The leadership of de la Torre has brought the idea of liberalism in the Philippines.That same year, in 1869, the Suez Canal was opened to the world after almost ten years of construction.The election of despot Amadeo of Savoy to the throne of Spain led to replacement of de la Torre in gubernatorial power in 1871. Serrano dispatched the 91st governor-general Carlos María de la Torre in 1869. At this point, post-French Revolution ideas entered the country through literature which caused the rise of enlightened Ilustrado class in the society.The 1868 Spanish Revolution brought to an end of the autocratic rule of Queen Isabella II and was replaced by a liberal government led by General Francisco Serrano. The use of galleons ended in 1815 when Mexican War of Independence broke up.

Unfortunately, the growth of nationalism was slow because of the difficulty in social and economic intercourse among the Filipinos.

The rise of Filipino nationalism was slow but inevitable. OriginsMap of the Philippines at the end of 19th century.The Philippine Revolution was an accumulation of numbers of ideas and exposition to international community that led to the opening of nationalistic endeavors. The Philippine-American War broke out shortly afterward. Spanish rule in the islands only officially ended with the 1898 Treaty of Paris, wherein Spain ceded the Philippines and other territories to the United States. However, neither Spain nor the United States recognized Philippine independence. Aguinaldo thus declared independence from Spain and the First Philippine Republic was established. By June, the rebels had conquered nearly all Spanish-held ground within the Philippines with the exception of Manila. That year, a truce was officially reached with the Pact of Biak-na-Bato and Aguinaldo was exiled to Hong Kong, though hostilities between rebels and the Spanish government never actually ceased.In 1898, with the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Aguinaldo unofficially allied with the United States, returned to the Philippines and resumed hostilities against the Spaniards. A power struggle among the revolutionaries led to Bonifacio's execution in 1897, with command shifting to Aguinaldo who led his own revolutionary government. In particular, rebels in Cavite led by Emilio Aguinaldo won early victories. This attack failed, but the surrounding provinces also rose up in revolt. Bonifacio called for a simultaneous coordinated attack on the capital Manila.
In a mass gathering in Caloocan, the Katipunan leaders organized themselves into a revolutionary government and openly declared a nationwide armed revolution. The Katipunan, led by Andrés Bonifacio, was a secessionist movement and shadow government spread throughout much of the islands whose goal was independence from Spain through armed revolt. The Philippine Revolution (1896–1898), called the quot īy the Spanish, was an armed military conflict between the people of the Philippines and the Spanish colonial authorities which resulted in the secession of the Philippine Islands from the Spanish Empire.The Philippine Revolution began in August 1896, upon the discovery of the anti-colonial secret organization Katipunan by the Spanish authorities.
