Why did the Spaniards, Japanese, and Americans conquered the Philippines?
Of course, in different times, but what made these three countries want to invade the Philippines and change the culture of the native Filipinos?
The Filipinos have Spanish first and last names, Filipinos are also taught the English language in schools, most of them even have Hispanic, Japanese, and American features.
I don’t even know what our ancestors look like or what their culture was before the Spaniards, Japanese, and Americans came over.
The Spaniards, like many European countries were trying to expand their land and develop trade routes.
The Japanese where trying to overcome their limited resources.
The Americans just kicked out the Japanese and return the Philippines to their own government in exchange for maintaining military bases their.
It is believed that the people of the Philippines were great sea travelers and were the ones that discovered and populated the various Polynesian islands including Hawaii and Easter. So you might want to look at those people to see what your ancestors looked like.
