1. Why was the 19th century the worst for the Spanish monarchy?

What were the


positive and negative things that happened for both the colonizer and the colonized
country like the Philippines?
The 19th century was the worst for the Spanish monarchy when its colonies in
the Americas started waging their own wars of independence in the early 19th
century, Spain suffered its biggest territorial losses. Many of Spain's colonies began
revolutions in the 1800s in an effort to break away from the country. Spain was
engaging in far too many wars, most of which were lost. Many of Spain's key
colonies were lost when Spain fell to the United States in the Spanish-American
War of 1898. In terms of Philippine-Spanish relationship, we can remember the
Treaty of Paris where Spain sold the Philippines to the Americans as they lost the
war.
