- the Impact of Opening the Port to World Trade to all Filipinos in short by 19th and 20th
century, the opening of the port and the other parts of the Philippine to foreign trade brought not only
economic prosperity to the country but also remarkable transformation in the life of the Filipinos. The

2. Define Imperialism in your own words.

- Imperialism, sometimes called empire building, is the practice of a nation forcefully imposing
its rule or authority over other nations. Typically involving the unprovoked use of military force,
imperialism has historically been viewed as morally unacceptable. As a result, accusations of imperialism
—factual or not—are often used in propaganda denouncing a nation’s foreign policy. It is also one of the
main reason why there were a lot of war back in the early ages.

X. Post-Test: With your knowledge in this chapter, answer the following questions below,
write your answer on the given box.

1. Create a narrative analysis on the changes occurred in the Philippines based on social,
political economic and cultural in the 19th Century.

- On the whole the Spanish regime was not a loss to the Philippines, although what was
accomplished for three centuries was not as much as could be wished for. To one tenth of the population
she gave her beautiful language; to all, she gave the Christian family life. The Filipinos are the only
oriental people who belong to 'the Christian population of the world, and this alone has prepared them for
political and social life. To the devoted friars are eternally indebted the Filipino leaders of today. The
work of the church in education, in religion, and in charity cannot be over-estimated. Additionally, they
had opened the path for the world of trading which helped our country to create more opportunity and
prosperity. However, we cannot deny the fact that there were a lot of maltreatment especially in justice.
Justice was deprived by the colonizer. They were not treated as equals but instead they were treated like
animals. In the end they were forced to work for them. a

2. Industrial Revolution was a boom of technology; explain its impact in the world of
imperialism/colonialism.

- The industrial revolution was the force behind this New Imperialism/colonialism, as it created not only
the need for the ruling country to expand, but the power to successfully take and profitably maintain so
many colonies overseas. The industrial revolution created the need for the imperialists to take over
colonies around the world. An empire always wants to add colonies as a measure of national greatness,
but now there was an additional push to conquer new territories. Because the Industrial Revolution
increased the production capacity of Western states astronomically, there was an enormous hunger for
raw materials to satisfy demands. Thus, the Western powers sought colonies where raw materials were
abundant and where they could be appropriated at little to no cost.

3. Create a narrative analysis on how the colonial government governed/imposed its

colonial dominance to the Philippines in the 19th Century.
-The government which Spain established in the Philippines was highly centralized in
structure and national in scope. The central government was powerful that almost everything had to be
done with its knowledge and consent. There was no legislature or congress because the laws for the
Philippines were made by Spaniards in Spain. It takes too much time just to have a law approved because
it needs to reach Spain. Their Government structure is just like the modern structure of our government.
However, it really does consume too much time and effort. Some laws were not easily implemented
because the judgement was never equal. Communication was one of their greatest weaknesses during that
era that is why some law were not followed. Law makers and implementers were feared back in the day
because instead of protection they gave the people fear in their hearts. Spaniards somehow used justice to
spread fear and eventually controlling the movement of the people.
