The Effects of Jose Rizal’s Execution on the Spanish Rule and the Philippine
Revolution

Filipinos are easily conquered by Spaniards there is no unity, no proper

government, divided tribes. Those are some motives on why the Spanish
effortlessly conquered our land. Result of these are, we tailored their culture,
traditions, and even their languages which we used till today. The Spanish took
gain of the already divided up people in the Philippines and without difficulty
dominated by using them. When a Filipino tribe was planning to have a revolution,
the Spanish would send another team of Filipino tribes to conquer their fellow
Filipinos, which effects of growing a superior experience of division.

The execution of Rizal brought a lot of change on the people of his country
as well as the country itself. The execution of Rizal breathed new life into the
insurrection, and the Philippine Revolution spread to the provinces of Pangasinan,
Zambales, and Ilocos. Jose Rizal inspired his followers. His death became a turning
point in the course of Philippine history, followed by a revolution that ended more
than 300 years of Spanish rule in the country.

This only shows how united Filipino’s are when it comes to defending their
own land and fellow Filipinos. Jose Rizal’s death put an anger to every Filipinos
heart. They became more hungry for justice and freedom. Due to their unity,
bravery, and the knowledge they acquired from Rizal’s creations and advocacy,
they are able to come up with an effective way to fight against Spanish
colonialism. They exposed the weakness of Spanish colonial rule and stopped
Spaniards from mistreating the people of their country.

I have learned that one tragic event can change anyone it can affect
his/her beliefs or perspective in life. It can push a person to make a strong decision
that can also create a lot of change.
