Spanish Colonization in the Philippines
After the Spaniards succeeded in 1556 to break the last good organized resistance, a long period of Spanish influence followed. The Spaniards ruled the country, brought the Christian religion to the country and were responsible for a lot of colonial and religious buildings throughout the country. The results can still be seen in places as for instance Cebu City and Manila.

According to them, they colonized us because they wanted to spread Christianity to everyone, which would be like pointing a loaded gun at someone while saying “Let’s be friends” in a really friendly way. And they didn’t waste time doing it. They used God’s awesome might to wow and befriend the people, add some military kapow into the mix and *BOOM!* we’re Spain’s colony before we even knew it. Spain was one of those countries who were thirsty for power. since the Spain was a Catholic country, it was obliged by the pope to convert the natives from places they colonized into Christianity.
