The Philippine Revolution of 1896 was a nationalist uprising against Spanish colonial rule, primarily led by the Katipunan, a secret society founded by Andres Bonifacio. Fueled by widespread discontent over Spanish oppression and inspired by the ideals of independence and reform, the revolution began in August 1896. Although initially marked by early successes, the movement faced significant challenges, including internal divisions and military setbacks. Ultimately, the revolution set the stage for the eventual declaration of Philippine independence in 1898, although it was followed by American colonization.
