Ferdinand Magellan sent his troops of 60 armed men and 1,000 warriors to claim the lands for the Spanish nation.

Over the years, the Philippines was fully conquered by the Spanish. The Philippines was administered as a province in Spain, and the Spanish conquest was accomplished.

After the invasion, the Spanish set down their rule, to assimilate the native peoples. This ensured that the Spanish were in control of the land. They were in charge of all raw materials that were imported.

Knowing the past of the conquest will allow for future societies to prevent the same mistakes from occurring and losing another pure language and civilization completely from language and social assimilation. The Spanish conquest, as well, called for many counts of depopulation. Many of Spanish men, and thousands Native Filipinos at the time, were killed due to wars of attempted conquest.

They had eventually consumed the Native Filipinos, and lost an entire culture. It caused the Filipinos to lose their cultural and individual identity, and many Spanish men having to emigrate from Spain to the Philippines and live in colonies. The Philippines became part of the Spanish empire. It resulted in the Philippine Natives' loss of governmental legacies, both cultures losing their inherited languages, traditions and religions, combining them creating a new society.

Nation of Exploitation: Philippines

Nation of Consumption: Spain

After Magellan's death, parts of the Philippines were being taken over again by the Spanish. Soon, they had begun to conquer larger communities. An example would be Manila; it was taken over by a Spanish explorer, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi who then turned Manila into the "centre" of the Spanish domination.

Before the invasion, the Philippines was a peaceful country filled with native people.

What makes them the Nation of Exploitation?

What makes them the Nation of Consumption?

1521

The very first explorer of the Philippines was Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer under the Spanish king, on an around the world expedition.

1. With Philippines being their only colony in Asia, they had a chance to acquire a share in the spice trade.

2. The Spanish were driven to spread the Roman Catholic religion to as many countries possible. The Philippines was no exception; moreover, with China and Japan being so close, it helped them further their Christian missionary efforts there.

3. They wanted to colonize and rule as many lands possible.

1. There was no unity between the natives. They did not think of themselves as one whole nation. There was separation, because of the different tribes and languages.

2. In Southern Philippines, the Muslim religion was strong. As they were about to spread upwards to the rest of the nation, the Spanish came. They were still weak, so the Spaniards easily overpowered them.

3. The tribes of the Philippines did not realize the effect they could have towards the Spanish if they were united; numerous tribes were currently at war with each other. The Spanish saw this and took advantage of the division. Because of this, domination was easily achieved.

Shortly after, Lapu-Lapu, the chief of Mactan island, defeated Magellan and succeeded in defending his people from the invading country. He is now known as the first Filipino hero.

The native peoples of the land were forced to become Catholics and learn the way of the Spanish.

This erased their native language and cultural ways. All the people in the land either spoke the native language of the Philippines or Spanish, so in order to communicate with each other, their languages eventually combined to create Tagalog.

Before the invasion, the native peoples treated their land with respect, only taking what they needed. They lived off the land and weren't greedy with trading and wealth. When the Spanish took over, they took all the resources they needed off of the land to increase their empire wealth.

Bibliography

The Spaniards' domination ended when the United States purchased the Philippines for $20 million dollars after the Spanish-American War.

People of today should take part and acknowledge the past issues and events to prepare for the future. Society must understand the consequences of previous actions, in order to prevent them from occurring once again. For example, during the Spanish conquest of the Philippines, the Native language and social policies were completely lost.

Eventually, after countless amounts of obstacles, the Philippines gained full independence in , after the 7 years war, the Treaty of Paris (1763), and rebellion from the Native peoples.

The cause of the conquest was the Spanish's desire to convert and colonize as many native peoples as they could to Catholics under the Spanish empire. They had eventually consumed the Native Filipinos, and lost an entire culture. It caused the Filipinos to assimilate into the Spanish and hybridize (the Filipino-Spanish hybridization is called Mestizos).
