I mean seriously that idea is kinda stupid from the start to be honest. Ming at the time is still a powerfull Nation, even if Spanish manage to score a major Victory with their superior Technology.

[@RexAresius]

Yeah, it's often thought that the Spanish expansion was a monochrome invasion of hordes of conquistadors when, in fact, Spaniards made up only the heavy infantry and cavalry elite, and were always supported by hundreds or thousands of natives of many different tribes who had sworn allegiance to the Spanish king for their own gain. It was mostly Tlaxcalans that defeated the Aztecs, and Andean rebels who defeated the Incas

​@@worldcomicsreview354No. There was an uprising by Ixtlilxochitl II, a claimant to the throne of Texcoco, who rose up against his nephew Cacamatzin, who was supported by Moctezuma II upon the death of his father, the previous tlatoani of Texcoco. Ixtlilxochitl claimed that Cacamatzin was a puppet of Tenochtitlan and part of Moctezuma's plan to further centralize the Triple Alliance around himself and Tenochtitlan, but given that he had a personal stake on the issue it's a muddy situation. Upon the arrival of Cortés, he was only joined by newly established tributaries (like the coastal Totonacs that the Spaniards met first) or long time enemies of the Mexica (like the Tlaxcaltecs, and only after seeing the prowess of the Spaniards and their Totonac allies in several battles). Later allies were obtained either through military conquest (ex.: Cholula), political manouvering (like the aforementioned Ixtlilxochitl, who would come to rule Texcoco as a pro-Spanish tlatoani) or the simple realization that the Spanish-Tlaxcaltec coalition was the new rising power in Mesoamerica after the death of Moctezuma and the battle of Otumba. Just like they had done when the Triple Alliance had defeated the old Tepanec Empire in the 1420s, most city-states of the region opted to side with the new arrivals and get into good graces with them than stick with what increasingly seemed as the losing side.

This battle gives a big picture of how the country was at a time when Spain is just starting out colonizing it. It showed complicated local allegiances and there was a battle at the same time in the south against the Muslims. This would show that some natives rebelled against Spain and won (the Moros) due to allegiances with Brunei, other Muslim nations and some natives in the north supported Spain due to other foreign forces (the pirates, the Dutch, the UK)..Basically current Philippines history taught in school is propaganda.

Palau certainly was far from Ming's traditional sphere of influence, it is straight up part of Melanesia. But Ming navy went as far as Kenya in 1400s, engaging in battles in Java and other locations in the Indian Ocean, so Palau was not the farthest destination they had sailed to battle. But I was still surprised to learn that they went to Melanesia to hunt down pirates.

He took over the throne after that and moved his administration to a fortified island. The murdered sultan's son- in law declared himself as the sultan and started a civil war to avenge his father-in law. He requested the Sulu Sultanate's assistance in return for... Sabah or the eastern side of it. In the end, he won however, the Sulu did got what they had promised. And that caused the ongoing Sabah dispute today and recent years You could say that the Sabah dispute was caused by two members of the royal family having a cockfight

It was the Stalingrad of Asia in WW2

[@Mikketamakulo]

no need to invade Manila for what, pagpag?

[@forminecraftmultiplayeracc2583]

​@@applesandgrapesfordinner4626It wasnt a stalingrad because it was declared an open city by Macarthur (bad decision btw) but at the end of the battle, 1000 american dead to a 16000 japanese dead, it wasn't a stalingrad, but its sure safe to say you did not read AP, which it specifically said that Macarthur declared it an open city. Battle of Shanghai was more of a stalingrad of asia, and the term Stalingrad of Asia does not belong to the Battle of Manila.

it would be funny if you also do a video of Raid of Manila of 1798. Which was a whacky Royal Navy false flag military operation led by Captain Edward Cooke during the *French Revolutionary Wars* , it was intended to scout the strength of the defences of Manila, at the capital of the Spanish Philippines.

[@zealfonso3987]

I'm from Alaminos City, Pangasinan where that famous Hundred Islands National Park is. As a kid, older people had always mentioned Limahong--and that he named our street after some mispronunciation of how a seafood is called--but we didn't fully know his history... Thanks for this! Sadly the current mayor regime is just focused on getting money and has totally forgotten about the historical figure.

🇪🇦❤️❌ in the Courts of Cadiz in Spain during Napoleonic invasion there were Filipino deputies with voice and vote. The Spanish Viceroyalty model wach more democratic than other European countries in their colonies and the Spanish- American deputies reached a third of parliament; specifically with the Phillipines it happened until 1.899 when separated or Spanish Sahara and Ecuatorial Guinea in 1.976 and 1.968

Indeed. Filipinos like Pedro Pérez de Tagle or Ventura de los Reyes y Serena were illustrious members of the 1812 Cortes de Cádiz.

[@walalang741]

Hoping for another one, this time during 1762 And aside from this second of the 5 battles of Manila, there are also other underrated events, that in my opinion were: 1, Voyage of the Bornean Datus of Panay 2, A 1365 battle (disputed) between Tondo and Majapahit in whats now Intramuros, and Sulu’s rebellion at the latter 3, Feud between Maynila and Tondo 4, Sangley rebellions of 1603 and 1639-40 5, The 3 revolts of 1660-61 (Pampanga, Pangasinan and Ilocos) 6, Revolt of Andres Novales 7, 1582 Cagayan battles

You gotta do Philippine rebellions, specifically the Pulahanes who were basically cultists fighting the Spanish and the Americans with machetes, amulets, holy oil, and spells. Some of the leaders were weird. One of them, Chris Elofre, not only started a rebellion but claimed magical powers and crossdressed.
