History 4

Before the arrival of the Spaniards, the Philippines was peaceful with its own writing systems and beliefs, and traded with other countries. After arriving, the Spaniards treated Filipinos as servants, imposed Spanish language, Christianity, and culture, and disrupted the formerly quiet way of life. While some Spanish influences modernized the nation, it also caused pain and oppression to the native people.
