The Cavite mutiny of 1872 was an uprising of Filipino military personnel of Fort San
Felipe, the Spanish arsenal in Cavite,[1]:107 Philippine Islands (then also known as part
of the Spanish East Indies) on January 20, 1872. Around 200 locally recruited colonial
troops and laborers rose up in the belief that it would elevate to a national uprising. The
mutiny was unsuccessful, and government soldiers executed many of the participants
and began to crack down on a burgeoning Philippines nationalist movement. Many
scholars believe that the Cavite Mutiny of 1872 was the beginning of Filipino
nationalism that would eventually lead to the Philippine Revolution of 1896.[2]
