Emerging Nationalism

GEC 11- THE LIFE AND WORKS OF RIZAL The Cavite Mutiny of 1872 was a historical uprising that occurred on 20 January 1872 involving almost 200 Filipino and Spanish soldiers and workers at Fort San Felipe in Cavite. The soldiers and workers rallied against the unfair treatment by the Spanish officers in implementing the payment of tributes, as well as the imposition of forced labor (polo y servicio), which the soldiers and workers were supposedly exempted from. The mutiny was unsuccessful, and the rebels were quickly crushed by the Spanish forces. The event is believed to have inspired many Filipinos patriots and reformists, fueling nationalistic spirit that culminated in the Philippine Revolution of 1896. Submitted by: Chonriel Jane A.
