Synopsis

"True Version of the Philippine Revolution" is a short book written by Emilio Aguinaldo, the first President of the Philippines, in 1899. In this book, Aguinaldo presents his perspective on the Philippine-American relations during the Philippine-American War (1899-1902). As the leader of the self-proclaimed Philippine Republic, Aguinaldo sought to convey the struggle of the Filipino people for independence and draw parallels to the American Revolution. Aguinaldo's book aimed to appeal to the democratic sentiments of the American people. He sought to portray the Filipino movement for independence as a fight for freedom and self-determination, akin to the American Revolution that led to the birth of the United States. By drawing this comparison, Aguinaldo hoped to garner sympathy and support from the American public, urging them to consider the legitimacy of the Philippine cause. Through "True Version of the Philippine Revolution," Emilio Aguinaldo sought to shape the narrative surrounding the Philippine-American conflict and present his version of events. The book provides insight into Aguinaldo's perspective on the struggle for Philippine independence and his efforts to gain recognition and support from the American people during a tumultuous period in Philippine history.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Spain maintained control of the Philippine Islands for more than three centuries and a half, during which period the tyranny, misconduct and abuses of the Friars and the Civil and Military Administration exhausted the patience of the Datives and caused them to make a desperate effort to shake off the unbearable galling yoke on the 26th and 31st A ugust, 1896, then commencing the revolution in the provinces of Manila and Cavite. On these memorable days the people of Balintawak, Santa Mesa, Kalookan, Kawit, Noveleta and San Francisco de Malabon rose against the Spaniards and proclaimed the Independence of the Philippines, and in the course of the next live days these uprisings were followed by the inhabitants of the other towns in Cavite province joining in the revolt against the Spanish Government although there was no previous arrangement looking to a general revolt. The latter were undoubtedly moved to action by the noble example of the former.
