Philippine Revolution

The Philippine Revolution (1896-1898) was a fight for independence from Spanish colonial rule. It began with the secret society called Katipunan, led by figures like Andres Bonifacio and later Emilio Aguinaldo. Over the years, Filipinos sought to end oppressive governance and achieve self-determination. Key events included the declaration of independence in June 1898, although the struggle continued with the arrival of American forces, leading to the Philippine-American War. Ultimately, the revolution marked a significant movement towards national identity and the desire for freedom, laying the groundwork for future governance and sovereignty in the Philippines.
