    The Opening of

    The Suez Canal


    Suez Canal
    ▪ is a sea-level waterway running north-south
    across the Isthmus of Suez in Egypt to
    connect the Mediterranean and the Red seas.
    The canal separates the African
    continent from Asia, and it provides the
    shortest maritime route between Europe and
    the lands lying around the Indian and
    western Pacific oceans. It is one of the world’s
    most heavily used shipping lanes.
    Opening of Suez Canal
    ▪ The change that took place in the 19th Century
    ▪ Opened in 1869
    ▪ Resulted in the shorter route and travel time between
    Spain and Philippines
    ▪ Many Spaniard with progressive ideas migrated in the
    Philippines, among them are the exiled creoles from
    Mexico.
    ▪ Later on, they influenced some educated Filipinos and
    soon both were asking the government to introduce
    changes in the administration of the colony.

    ▪ Another effect of the shorter distance between


    Spain and Philippines was the influx of
    progressive books and periodicals to the country.
    ▪ Books on American independence and the French
    Revolution circulated in the country.

    introduction of modern technology such as the
    mail (1854), the telegraph (1873), the telephone,
    and the Manila-Dagupan Railway (1890).
    ▪ Likewise, shorter travel time and distance
    between the Mother Country and the colony
    encouraged many educated Filipinos to go to
    Europe to continue their studies and to prove that
    they were the equal of the Spaniards.
    Liberalism in the
    Philippines
    ▪ In 1869, a revolution took place in Spain. The
    revolutionist were against the autocratic reign of
    Queen Isabel II. When the revolutionists won, Queen
    Isabell was forced to flee to France. As a result of this,
    the Republic of Spain was born.
    ▪ It lasted from 1868 to 1870
    ▪ The triumph of the Spanish revolutionists who fought
    for popular suffrage, and freedom of speech, the
    press, and of religion, brought to the country some
    liberal and progressive Spaniards.
    He showed his democratic ways by living
    simply and avoiding luxury, by dismissing
    the halberdiers of his palace and by
    walking the streets of manila in civilian
    clothes.

    De La Torre’s Administration of the


    Philippines was significant because of the
    following reasons: 1. He abolished the
    censorship of the press, 2. He abolished
    flogging as a punishment and 3. he solved
    the agrarian unrest in Cavite.

    Governor – General
    Carlos Maria De La Torre
    The Return of
    Autocracy
    The administration of governor de la Torre was brief. The
    Republic of Spain ended in 1870 when monarchy was restored
    and a new king assumed the Spanish throne.

    Rafael de Izquierdo, who was appointed governor-general in


    1871 to replace de la Torre.

    Immediately he reversed the reforms od de la Torre. He


    disapproved the establishment of a school of arts and trades in
    Manila because he was afraid that it might be used as a political
    club.

    Those who have known to have favored the administration of


    de la Torre were considered suspects and were spied upon.

    ▪ “The Church by refusing to degrade you, has
    placed in doubt the crime that has been
    imputed to you; the Government, by
    surrounding your trials with mystery and
    shadows, causes the belief that thee was
    some error committed in fatal moments; and
    the Philippines, by worshipping your memory
    in no way recognizes your culpability”
