Cavite Mutiny
Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article.
Cavite Mutiny , (January 20, 1872), brief uprising of 200 Filipino troops and workers at the Cavite arsenal, which became the excuse for Spanish repression of the embryonic Philippine nationalist movement. Ironically, the harsh reaction of the Spanish authorities served ultimately to promote the nationalist cause.
The mutiny was quickly crushed, but the Spanish regime under the reactionary governor Rafael de Izquierdo magnified the incident and used it as an excuse to clamp down on those Filipinos who had been calling for governmental reform. A number of Filipino intellectuals were seized and accused of complicity with the mutineers. After a brief trial, three priests—José Burgos, Jacinto Zamora, and Mariano Gómez—were publicly executed. The three subsequently became martyrs to the cause of Philippine independence.

The manipulation of the mutiny by Spanish authorities and friars adds complexity to the narrative. Despite the disagreements, the Cavite Mutiny played a role in sparking Filipino nationalism and the push for reforms. Overall, the Cavite Mutiny's impact extended beyond 1872, shaping future movements for independence.
