The Early 19th Century
A. Nations Struggle for Nationalism
Nationalism- is a sense of loyalty or psychological attachment that members of a nation share, based on a common language, history, culture and desire for independence. It is a feeling that drives all people together as a nation. It is love of country expressed in devotion to and advocacy of national interest and independence.
Due to their alleged participation to the Cavite mutiny, GOMBURZA were condemned to death without fair trial, but they gallantly face death. This became the inspiration of Jose Rizal, the national hero, to write his second novel El Filibusterismo. Propaganda era immediately followed in the person of Lopez Jaena, Plaridel, Sancionco, Ponce and other propagandists. “We could see that when the three martyrs have not yet been executed, the struggle for freedom is expressed through uprisings.”
Nationalism began in the 19th century for in this century specifically in the year 1872. The three fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora showed their martyrdom that the Filipinos created a strong fervor to put a stop to oppression and liberate the country for the Spaniards.
B. Rise and Spread of Liberalism and Democracy

June 12, 1898
· Proclamation of the Philippine democracy
· The proclamation is evidence that Filipinos wanted to establish a modern nation state. Democracy was to be their proof.
C. The Industrial Revolution
The industrial revolution is basically an economic revolution with started with the invention of steam engine and resulted to the use of machinery in the manufacturing sector in the cities of Europe. It has changed the Economy of Europe from feudalism.
Feudalism - an economic system which relied on plant and agriculture to capitalism which relied on machinery and wage labor. Farmers from rural areas migrated to the cities and became industrial workers while their wives remained as housekeepers at home in what Karl Marx’s characterized as the first instance of the domestication of women.
D. Advent of Science
The 19th century witnessed the rise of modern industry. From Western Europe to Britain to North America. Agriculture lost its preeminent role in societal reproduction and yielded to industrial manufacturing and technology intensive services like railroads, steam navigation and telecommunication.
Significant Consequences
Ø Everyday experience and innumerable scientists impressed the importance of science on the mind of ordinary citizens.
Ø Technical advances led the people to develop optimistic faith in man’s capability to achieve progress.
Ø The methods of science acquired unrivaled prestige after 1850.
E. Optimism and Confidence in Progress
Optimism or faith in society and man’s ability to progress was brought about by the advancement of science, the coming of steam-powered industry, and the spread of liberalism and socialism.
F. Imperialism
Europeans began building their empires in the western hemisphere in the early 1500s, but by the 1800s, Spain and Portugal were no longer powerful countries, and the largest British colony became the United States.
Types of Imperialism:
1. Colonial Imperialism – this form of Imperialism is virtual complete takeover of an area, with domination in all areas: economic, political, and socio-cultural.
2. Economic Imperialism – this form of Imperialism is allowed the area to operate as its own nation, but the imperialist nation almost completely controlled its trade and other business.
3. Political Imperialism – although a country may have had its own government with natives in top political positions, it operated as the imperialist country told it to.
4. Socio- Cultural Imperialism – the dominating country deliberately tried to change customs, religions, and languages in some of the countries. A good example was British India, where English was taught in schools, Indian soldiers dressed British-style, and western trading rules were set up.
