When the year 1400 came, it was the start of the age of travelling and discovering new lands. Europeans start to try their like for new lands to create new maps.
Portugal and Spain were the leading countries in navigational and conquest of different countries. Fernando Magallanes (known as Ferdinand Magellan), one Portuguese traveller who served the King of Spain believes that he would reach East through travelling in the direction West. 1521 was the year when he discovered a group of islands, the Philippines, which became a colony of Spain from 1565 to 1898.
Under King Carlos V rule, the invasion of Spain over Philippines began. Ferdinand Magellan began the first expedition. Even though Magellan didn't stay long in the Philippines for long because Lapu-lapu defeated and killed him, this was not the reason Spain stopped having the purpose to invade the country. The son of King Carlos V which is King Philip II (Haring Felipe II) continued on sending expeditions to the country. Miguel Lopez de Legazpi's was victorious in the year 1565 and Spain completely conquered Philippines.
Philippines and her brothers will explain Spain's purposes for conquering the country:
"The first is Papa's political purposes," Phili said as she faced the camera. "Papa Spain had the most powerful kingdom in the whole universe back then in the year 1600 because he had the willpower to become famous and powerful. He victoriously conquered a big pat of South America, has made many colonies in Africa and made Ate Phili a colony in Asia," Luzon said as he nodded, making himself look pretty smart.
"The conquest of the Spaniards in the Philippines lasted 333 years," Visayas said as he glared at Luzon. "Ano… They wanted to spread Christianity," Mindanao said to replace Phili who was trying to stop Visayas and Luzon from tearing each other up. "The expedition of Spain started at the rule of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabel I of Castille," Mindanao added. "Oww! Ate Phili, don't pinch my ear!" Luzon and Visayas both said when Phili punished them. "We're on live TV, stupid brothers. Why can't you two be like Mindanao?" Phili said.
"Please stop, Ate Phili," Mindanao said. "Like you said, we're on live TV," Luzon said. "Yeah, Ate Phili. The viewers are watching us," Visayas taunted. "Alright, I'll stop," Phili let go of her brothers' ears. "When the supported, Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan, they showed that the spreading of Christianity is one of their objectives in their voyage," Phili said as she pouted.
"They succeeded in the expulsion of the Moors (Muslim of Granada) while the Jewish Spaniards were forcefully made to leave also. In the year 1504, as of the testament of Queen Isabel I, she told all of the future kings or queens of Spain to spread Christianity," Luzon said, showing a victorious grin to Phili. "The desire of spreading Christianity was planted in the minds and emotions of the Spaniards, whatever that means," Visayas said.
MEANWHILE, IN SPAIN'S HOME…
"My sweet tomato and her brothers are talking about me," Spain said as he hugged a pillow on the couch tightly. "And she has her own TV show, I hope I'll guest in it soon," he added.
BACK AT THE STUDIO…
"Spain agreed with the Roman Catholic Church to spread, preserve and protect the religion Roman Catholic in all the colonies in exchange the free manipulation of the colonies of the Church which Vatican freely intervenes to," Visayas said. "That agreement was called Patronato Real de las Indias," Mindanai said.
"Economic goal is what we're going to talk about next," phili said while striking a pose. "We are not taking a picture, Ate Phili," Luzon said. "But this will be shared in the wide world," Phili pouted. "Because of the very important products and food of the East, Spain made progress and expanded their economic statuses due to active trade," Luzon said.
"Through the mercantilism policy, Spain also had a colony where the power and strength of a country is measure by the amount of income in the form of expensive metals like gold and silver. Spain gets the raw materials and markets where they can buy products which are already manufactured in the Philippines," Visayas explained. "Oh, it's my turn already… The collection of wealth of the countries that were conquered was used by Spain to achieve the rich economic that he wants. Aside from Spain, countries like Portugal, England, France and Holland (Netherlands) were spreading the capitalism policy in the form of mercantilism in doing progress of their economics," Mindanao explained. "The objective of Spain is victoriously performed so the invasion of Spain in the Philippines, which is me :P, lasted," Phili said as she bowed.
