A Silent Revolt – MK2


Infidel Recovery

On the mid 18th century after the famine in the late 17th century and the eruption of Taal, the Pagan and Crypto Muslim populations in Luzon would start to flourish again, the Gaddangs would be said to dominate the Upper Reaches of the Cagayan and Pampanga river watersheds.

The Taal volcano would spew Ash on the lands of Kumintang destroying the ports of Kumintang and the Pansipit.

The Spanish would not feel the death toll of their loyal supporters on the Island, the Pagans would recover from the famine in the 17th to early 18th century and the Spanish would not know what would happen with the land that they are in until it was too late, the Pagans don’t acknowledge the Spanish.

The native ethnic group of Bulacan would recover from the 17th-century famine and they would remain a separate group from Kapampangans, they are known as Bulacan or the Tagarugs.

On Kumintang repeated revolts would happen and there would be both Crypto Muslim population in Kumintang which would recover from the Famine and they would recover and are still existing in the present day.

During that time the Spanish under Charles III would have issues against Napoleon as Napoleon would have tried to attack Spain, the Spanish led by Charles III would not seem to notice that parts of Luzon that they are occupying are now lessen in the Northern half of that Island, the Spanish would have issues in the South but they would have issues in the North as well.

The Decay

On the late 18th century the Spanish rule in the areas not really loyal to the Spanish in the Northern half of Luzon would break little by little and the people of Luzon or Saludong would start to find their identity, however, the Macabebeans and Ilocanos would be loyal to the Spanish, however, their population would gradually decrease due to the skirmishes and famines in the area where they live.

Despite both the Ibanags, Sambals, Irraya, Pangasinense and Bulacan who are the catholics would recover from the 17th century famine and never experience the 18th-19th century famine but they would be prove to be not to be really pro-Spanish and willing to defect away as well as the Crypto Muslims like the Kumintang Crypto Muslims and it never helped that the people of Kumintang hated the Spanish as well.

Sometime the during the time of the Decay of the Spanish rule in Luzon, the remnants of the Silang and Palaris revolts would reorganize and form a provisional governement for the island due to them seeing the Spanish control going less and less in the island.

On the that 1810s on the last point of the Spanish rule the revolt of Novales in Manila and the Minor Basi revolt in the Ilocos would be both hated by both the Pagans and the Spanish and none of them would support them which would cause these revolts to have no support as these both revolts are both against the Spanish and against the Pagans.

A tobacco monopoly in the Philippine islands during the Spanish era would established by Governor-General José Basco y Vargas on March 1, 1782 with the aim of increasing government revenue. Spearheaded by the Sociedad Económica de los Amigos del País (Economic Societies of Friends of the Country), tobacco was cultivated under strict government control.

The tobacco farmers were given quotas each year and the entire crop was then bought by the government. The tobacco leaves were then brought to Manila and made into cigars and cigarettes in government-owned factories, however the Pagans would multiply in Cagayan valley and the resistant population preventing the Spanish from taking advantage of Cagayan Valley, causing the Tabacco Monopoly to be confined in the Ilocos Provinces and Marinduque, and the Tabacco Monopoly in Ilocos would succeed there and the Spanish would gradually abandon Luzon with the exception of Manila, Macabebe and Ilocos and the other Christians would gradually loosen their ties to the Catholic Church this situation would gradually lead the Spanish to sell the island to the British East India Company during the reign of George IV in 1820.

Anglo-Spanish marriage

François Guizot, the French foreign minister, had been a supporter of friendly relations with Britain and had served as France's ambassador in London in 1840. During Guizot's tenure in London, the two countries had been brought to the brink of war on the matter of the Syrian question, before France's king Louis-Philippe intervened to de-escalate the crisis. The second Soult government was formed in autumn of 1840 in France with Guizot as foreign minister, and Guizot set himself to the task of restoring friendly relationships with other European powers – including Britain – who had sided with the Ottoman Empire in the crisis. Guizot became a personal friend of the British foreign minister, Lord Aberdeen. Relations between Britain and France warmed significantly during the tenure of the Conservative Peel government.


Peel and Aberdeen resigned from their posts in 1846 over disputes relating to the Corn Laws, where they were succeeded by a Liberal government led by Lord John Russell, with Lord Palmerston serving as foreign minister. Guizot's relationships with this new government were strained at best – Palmerston had been Britain's foreign minister during the Syrian crisis, and had directed an aggressive strategy to bolster the Ottoman Empire in direct contradiction to France's designs. Palmerston's reappointment as foreign minister in 1846 was seen in France as a threat.

British fears of a union between the French and Spanish crowns were long-held; they had been central to the War of the Spanish Succession more than a century earlier. Guizot, intent on rebuilding relations with Britain and his friend Lord Aberdeen in the early 1840s, had come to an understanding with his British counterpart that Isabella, the Spanish queen, would marry a Bourbon of the Spanish or Neapolitan branches, rather than a Bourbon of France.

Palmerston rejected this understanding which had been made with his predecessor, and instead suggested Prince Leopold, the son of Queen Charlotte I of Britain.

Queen Charlotte would intervene in favor of her son, Leopold as the future king of Spain and would decide to fix the tomb of Catherine of Aragon before the marriage of Leopold and Isabella II of Spain.

The affair connected also with the chaotic politics of mid-nineteenth century Spain. The French backed the ruling conservative moderados, while the British backed the opposition liberal progresistas, who desired to reinstate the liberal Spanish Constitution of 1812. In order to protect their political position, the moderados were prevented in carrying out the French-backed marriages by Palmerston, who insisted that the marriages were a breach of the 1712 Treaty of Utrecht and decided to go on a middle ground. Palmerston's efforts succeeded – on October 10, 1846, on Isabella's 16th birthday, the Spanish queen was married to Leopold, taking the name Leopoldo I of Spain, while her sister Luisa Fernanda was married to Henri, Count of Chambord, the pretender Henri V, this marriage agreement and treaty would result in Spain having support by Britain in their conquest of Sangihe and the Spice Islands from the Dutch.

Belgium

When Belgium became independent in 1830 the National Congress chose a constitutional monarchy as the form of government. The Congress voted on the question on 22 November 1830, supporting monarchy by 174 votes to 13. In February 1831, the Congress nominated Louis, Duke of Nemours, the son of the French king Louis-Philippe, but international considerations deterred Louis-Philippe from accepting the honour for his son.

Following this refusal, the National Congress appointed Erasme-Louis, Baron Surlet de Chokier to be the Regent of Belgium on 25 February 1831. Francis V, duke of Modena was designated as King of the Belgians by the National Congress and swore allegiance to the Belgian constitution in front of Saint Jacob's Church at Coudenberg Palace in Brussels on 21 July. This day has since become a national holiday for Belgium and its citizens.

Queen Charlotte would see that the jacobite claimant would be the new king of Belgium and married her daughter, Alexandra of Great Britain to the jacobite claimant who now became the King of Belgium in order to guarantee the British support to the new King of Belgium.

Acquisition of Luzon by the British

During the time of Acquisition of Luzon, Novales would be successful of his revolt against the Spanish which would further destroy the remnants of the unity of the Spanish population with the Spanish Insulares and Criolos against the Spanish and the revolt of Novales against the Spanish would be quelled by the British after the British would be able to dissolve the native government, many of the Criolos and Insulares would migrate south to the Philippines still controlled by the Spanish.

After the selling, the pagan tribes would be given rights by George IV compared to the Spanish and the Christian tribes that had are not Pro-Spanish would would convert Protestant or Anglican religion during the reign of George IV and Charlotte I of Britain and the British would negotiate and dissolve the provisional government of the island of Luzon or Saludong which is due to the rights that George IV would give to the people of Saludong.

Manila, Macabebe, Bicol and Ilocos would remain Catholic despite it being ruled by Britain and they would remain to have a cultural connection with the Spanish and some mestizo families in Bicol would have descendants in Spain as they have migrated to Spain such as Prime Minister Marcelo Azcarraga of Spain who would emphasize and improve the situation of Southern insular Bicol under the rule of Spain and Marcelo Azcarraga’s family would migrate to the area of the Philippines that is still controlled by the Spanish, the Spanish controlled Bicol to be exact.
