What lead to the founding of the katipunan?

The Katipunan was founded in 1892 as a response to the growing dissatisfaction among Filipinos with Spanish colonial rule, marked by social injustices, economic exploitation, and lack of political rights. Its founder, Andres Bonifacio, aimed to unite Filipinos in a movement for independence and reform. The organization sought to promote nationalism and empower the Filipino people through education and collective action against colonial oppression. The Katipunan ultimately played a crucial role in the Philippine Revolution against Spain.
