What is Colonial Instability in Spanish Philippines about?
Political instability in Spain led to frequent changes in colonial administration in the Philippines, making the government inefficient and corrupt. Spain later abandoned mercantilism and adopted laissez-faire policies, opening the Philippines to foreign trade and creating a middle class that demanded reforms. However, under Spanish rule the Filipinos suffered under an oppressive social structure and an education system focused on indoctrination that maintained Spanish control.
