was six years
younger than

Ramon Blanco were defeated by the
Filipinos headed by Aguinaldo.

Governor General
Camilo Polavieja

governor general on

His greatest blunder
was the approval of
the Spanish courtmartials verdict
sending Rizal to death
on December 30,
1896.

Significance of Rizals death

By killing Rizal, Spain sealed her
doom as a colonial power in Asia. The
Filipino patriots, avenge Rizals
death, fought harder until they

cause, Rizal emerged as the national
hero of the Philippines.
