Fun fact: The Spanish leadership in the Philippines seriously considered a major invasion of China in 1586 with 20-25,000 men, half of whom would be fresh Spanish troops and the rest split half and half between Filipinos and Japanese mercenaries. But King Philip II showed little interest in that idea and it was scrapped.
@@radarouton Not really. 1586 would have been in the latter part of the Ming dynasty when it was weakening and Spain was extremely dominant militarily during that same period known as the Spanish Golden Age. The British would later go on to defeat China in the opium wars showing that it was possible for European power to bring China to it's knees.
I mean seriously that idea is kinda stupid from the start to be honest. Ming at the time is still a powerfull Nation, even if Spanish manage to score a major Victory with their superior Technology. It wouldn't be too profitable and besides Ming has very large manpower and reserve and can play a long game while Spanish has to send their troops with ships from accros a continent beside they have too many Colonist too handle too begin with including Philippines, I can understand why Philip II decide not too do that.

To add even more crazyness - around the same time, on the opposite end of the Philippine archipelago, the Spaniards (and Amerindians and mixed-raced people they brought with them, as well as local allies) were fighting against local islamic states, such as Sulu and Brunei, which were supported by the Ottomans and other Indian Ocean muslim states. So there's a non-zero chance that jannissaries were fighting descendants of Aztecs in the Philippines.
Another fun fact: This specific war went on up until the Spaniards got kicked off the islands; and they're nowhere close to subjugating the Moro locals even though they were fighting for more or less 300 years. In fact, when the Americans came, the Moros fought them too; as well as the Japanese during the WW2. TLDR: These guys don't want foreigners fucking with their land.
Also, quite interesting how multi-ethnic both sides of this battle were. The Spaniards had native allies such as the Tagalog, Kapampangan, Ilocano, and Visayan peoples. While Limahomg had both Chinese or probably some Japanese pirates, so they are Wokou Pirates.
Yeah, it's often thought that the Spanish expansion was a monochrome invasion of hordes of conquistadors when, in fact, Spaniards made up only the heavy infantry and cavalry elite, and were always supported by hundreds or thousands of natives of many different tribes who had sworn allegiance to the Spanish king for their own gain.

Ixtlilxochitl claimed that Cacamatzin was a puppet of Tenochtitlan and part of Moctezuma's plan to further centralize the Triple Alliance around himself and Tenochtitlan, but given that he had a personal stake on the issue it's a muddy situation. Upon the arrival of Cortés, he was only joined by newly established tributaries (like the coastal Totonacs that the Spaniards met first) or long time enemies of the Mexica (like the Tlaxcaltecs, and only after seeing the prowess of the Spaniards and their Totonac allies in several battles). Later allies were obtained either through military conquest (ex.: Cholula), political manouvering (like the aforementioned Ixtlilxochitl, who would come to rule Texcoco as a pro-Spanish tlatoani) or the simple realization that the Spanish-Tlaxcaltec coalition was the new rising power in Mesoamerica after the death of Moctezuma and the battle of Otumba.

Disney should invest their hundreds of millions of dollars making this hilariously fun and entertaining history events instead of using it for live actions remakes.
These are the kind of events that gets glossed over in our history books in our primary education. If these were featured it would make our history class a whole lot more interesting.
tama tama! they tend to focus more on current events rather than the past, you will not learn true filipino history in school, if you want, research it yourself. also bias in english history more than our own. kills our culture faster.
Because this was inconsequential to the development of the Philippines. History curriculums include all events that had a lasting impact. This was just one of many multinational pirate attacks against Manila.
@@EzekielDeLaCroix its also the reason why nearly nobody talks about events in the Philippines aside from a few before late 19th century, with some had it occurred might result in a different fate for the soon-to-be-born nation
@@EzekielDeLaCroixStill doesn’t make sense to gloss over most of precolonial history. Most Filipinos today think we were savages before Spain when in reality we were similar to South East Asia with our trade, clothing and culture. Like isn’t it counterproductive to not teach that huge part of history? Precolonial history still supports the focus of independence you know? Same with this battle. This battle gives a big picture of how the country was at a time when Spain is just starting out colonizing it. It showed complicated local allegiances and there was a battle at the same time in the south against the Muslims. This would show that some natives rebelled against Spain and won (the Moros) due to allegiances with Brunei, other Muslim nations and some natives in the north supported Spain due to other foreign forces (the pirates, the Dutch, the UK)..Basically current Philippines history taught in school is propaganda. Picking and choosing which one to teach resulting in generational amnesia towards most of our history all to make it seem like our ancestors had no agency of their own when in reality they did.
Manilla was such a wild place as a colony, my favorite tidbit is that the first "president" of Ecuador was fighting of a dutch raid and whilst fighting found out his Chinese servant, was not even Chinese, but a japanese Ronin and so he kept him.
Truly a The Limahong Piece is Real!!! art hours. On the other hand, Palau may have been the furthest destination a Ming navy is said to have sailed to battle. Martin de Goiti had once assisted his previous superior the conquistador Miguel de Legazpi to drive a conquest from their first colonial settlements in Cebu to conquering and establishing what would become Manila, consisting of multiple native villages along the riverbanks and a walled coastal city similar to military fortifications in Puerto Rico.
Palau certainly was far from Ming's traditional sphere of influence, it is straight up part of Melanesia. But Ming navy went as far as Kenya in 1400s, engaging in battles in Java and other locations in the Indian Ocean, so Palau was not the farthest destination they had sailed to battle. But I was still surprised to learn that they went to Melanesia to hunt down pirates. Seems like Ming had pretty good knowledge of maritime geography at the time, in contrast to extremely inward, land-based orientation of the Qing empire that replaced Ming. China could have become a major player alongside the Iberians and the Dutch...

This is a weird title; it makes it sound like Philippines fought as a nation against whatever Chinese dynasty at that time, when I don't think Philippines were even a single country at this point, so its more like the Spaniards as colonizer of Philippines with whatever mercenaries they had fighting off a somewhat large Asian pirate fleet.

@@bmona7550 Yea, my country had a civil war in the past because the highest ranking vizier went amok and commit regicide and took over the throne because his son was murdered over a cockfight Context: The vizier's son won a cockfight against the sultan's son, but was murdered by the losing side of the fight. The vizier demanded the sultan to allow him to execute his son after the whole thing happened but the sultan said no and the vizier went amok and started to go on a killing spree at the sultan's palace which, unsuprisingly, killed the sultan as a result. He took over the throne after that and moved his administration to a fortified island. The murdered sultan's son- in law declared himself as the sultan and started a civil war to avenge his father-in law. He requested the Sulu Sultanate's assistance in return for... Sabah or the eastern side of it. In the end, he won however, the Sulu did got what they had promised. And that caused the ongoing Sabah dispute today and recent years You could say that the Sabah dispute was caused by two members of the royal family having a cockfight

Hoping for another one, this time during 1762 And aside from this second of the 5 battles of Manila, there are also other underrated events, that in my opinion were: 1, Voyage of the Bornean Datus of Panay 2, A 1365 battle (disputed) between Tondo and Majapahit in whats now Intramuros, and Sulu’s rebellion at the latter 3, Feud between Maynila and Tondo 4, Sangley rebellions of 1603 and 1639-40 5, The 3 revolts of 1660-61 (Pampanga, Pangasinan and Ilocos) 6, Revolt of Andres Novales 7, 1582 Cagayan battles
there were alot of settlements of okinawan/japanese pirates and chinese in Northern Luzon so I do think this is the first or only time Spaniards fought against them.

This is one of the few times some outside forces besides the Spaniards actually was the villains here lmao.
That is used to describe the Mexicans not the Philipinos. Mexico also used those adjectives. That is to say that the Mexicans were criollos(Spanish born in Mexico) Mestizos(half spanish half indigenous of Mexico) and Indio (indigenous Mexicans). This adjectives weren't exclusive to the philippines they were used accross the Spanish Empire.
The text is depicting the composition of the Mexicans that were part of the spanish garrison, which were composed of Europeans born in México(Criollos), Half Spanish-Native(Mestizos) and Indigenous(Mostly Tlaxcallans and Nahua soldiers from central México).
Mestizo in the Philippines could also be half Chinese and half Filipino, while Criollos are used to describe any Spaniard born and raised in its overseas possessions. Criollos in the Philippines were considered the "first" Filipinos, as before nationalism became a thing they were used to differentiate them from peninsular Spaniards (similar on how criollos were dubbed "americanos" in Spanish America).

Actually more likely the Dutch were so obsessed with the plunder they just pussied out when faced with actual combat
Haha LOL XD. I remember reading about it in my Grade 5 Araling Panlipunan textbook. Plus, the Dutch actually failed seven times, ROTF!
LOL ive never heard of this thats awesome Dutch got beat by divine intervention? xD
@@justarandomcommenter570 it happened in Flanders too! In Empel the Dutch flooded the area around a besieged Spanish position and they found a buried painted tableau of St Mary - that night the water froze and the Spaniards charged out to murder the icelocked ship crews surrounding them
Chinese immigration to the Philippines commonly have their names westernized but not anglicized. That's how you get people running around here as Francisco Yu or Crisostomo Uy or something like that.
lol americanized names are also common these days among chinese filipinos ever since american colonial era. its mostly elderlies and boomers and some gen X carrying long hispanic names. millennial and zoomer filchi these days are mostly carrying americanized given names with hokkien surnames spelled in the spanish style before

Interestingly: There was once a war between Ottomans VS Aztecs.... And they also fought in South east asia
Earth: Endgame
@muslimsagainstdegeneration9544sounds like an Age of Empires II match
South East Asia being an average game of Age of Empires.
@muslimsagainstdegeneration9544 To be fair context is back from 1500 when they want to find spices land because y know Ottomans has control of all of the Byzantine territories. And the new policy Ottoman for higher tax trade was because of some sh*ttery war between HRE and the Ottoman itself. So the rest like Dutch, Spain, even Britain like f*ck it I find on the sea by myself.
First, they are teammates but after that, they start hating each other because Trade company rivals and backstab by sabotaging or handling over side by side. All just because of a f*ken Mercantile doctrine and 3G thoughts. So not a big surprise how many involve the wars in SEA between Dutch, China, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Some Jannies from Ottomans random, Aztecians, Persian with their yee yee ass elephant, Arabic & Egypt with their Horses Mamelukes MK 2.0, Chinese with their fleet expedition, and Mongol with their Mangundai boogaloo over just because trade post, tax, and spices.

Limahong is truly one of the bing chillings of all time.
These are the kind of events that gets glossed over in our history books in our primary education. If these were featured it would make our history class a whole lot more interesting.
tama tama! they tend to focus more on current events rather than the past, you will not learn true filipino history in school, if you want, research it yourself.
also bias in english history more than our own. kills our culture faster.
@@CMDR-DR-SGT Fair enough, although english history isn't the only bias one, it's just the one who makes more sound.
Because this was inconsequential to the development of the Philippines. History curriculums include all events that had a lasting impact. This was just one of many multinational pirate attacks against Manila.
@@EzekielDeLaCroix its also the reason why nearly nobody talks about events in the Philippines aside from a few before late 19th century, with some had it occurred might result in a different fate for the soon-to-be-born nation
@@EzekielDeLaCroixStill doesn’t make sense to gloss over most of precolonial history. Most Filipinos today think we were savages before Spain when in reality we were similar to South East Asia with our trade, clothing and culture. Like isn’t it counterproductive to not teach that huge part of history? Precolonial history still supports the focus of independence you know? Same with this battle. This battle gives a big picture of how the country was at a time when Spain is just starting out colonizing it. It showed complicated local allegiances and there was a battle at the same time in the south against the Muslims. This would show that some natives rebelled against Spain and won (the Moros) due to allegiances with Brunei, other Muslim nations and some natives in the north supported Spain due to other foreign forces (the pirates, the Dutch, the UK)..Basically current Philippines history taught in school is propaganda. Picking and choosing which one to teach resulting in generational amnesia towards most of our history all to make it seem like our ancestors had no agency of their own when in reality they did.
Manilla was such a wild place as a colony, my favorite tidbit is that the first "president" of Ecuador was fighting of a dutch raid and whilst fighting found out his Chinese servant, was not even Chinese, but a japanese Ronin and so he kept him.
So we now have a black samurai and a ronin "serving" the first President of Ecuador

Make one about the Castilian war, when spanish and aztec warriors fought against ottomans, Egyptians, and muslim Malaysians
Well technically they were muslims under the Bruneian Empire, Sulu, and Maguindanao-two of which are currently part of the Philippines.
As Limahong myself, this video resonates with me deeply.

On the other hand, Palau may have been the furthest destination a Ming navy is said to have sailed to battle.
Martin de Goiti had once assisted his previous superior the conquistador Miguel de Legazpi to drive a conquest from their first colonial settlements in Cebu to conquering and establishing what would become Manila, consisting of multiple native villages along the riverbanks and a walled coastal city similar to military fortifications in Puerto Rico.
Palau certainly was far from Ming's traditional sphere of influence, it is straight up part of Melanesia. But Ming navy went as far as Kenya in 1400s, engaging in battles in Java and other locations in the Indian Ocean, so Palau was not the farthest destination they had sailed to battle. But I was still surprised to learn that they went to Melanesia to hunt down pirates. Seems like Ming had pretty good knowledge of maritime geography at the time, in contrast to extremely inward, land-based orientation of the Qing empire that replaced Ming. China could have become a major player alongside the Iberians and the Dutch...
SEA in general is a a Weird Place, you have the saner places like Tailand, Vietnam practicing Local or Religions from near but the you have.

This battle is one of the most wtf did that really happened on our country type stuff.
But yeah i recall getting mentioned when i was in the national museum at manila. Lots of people didn't believe it because it so weird and feels like a some sort of a fictional story
Most Filipinos tend to avoid the Hispanic era history because of Hispanophobia, so it’s no surprise if they think it’s fictional.

"You are locked with us forever." - coz every culture religion and trades made this country lmfao
Unironically, one of the coolest battles in history.
The saddest part for me is that these crazily interesting crossovers are the most under-taught in history.
The problem is that people are taught that this events are not part of their country's history when it reality it is. Your ancestors participated in this events and Filipinos were part of Spain for centuries, so their history are tied and that is not something bad.
Truly one of the battles of all time
I'm a Filipino and I didn't know this.
They always talk about how the Spaniards were the baddies and never talked about stuff like this.
Have you realized this types of videos are not relevant to our history?
If you think about it, it's not really relevant, it does not talk about Philippine Independence, or struggles of a post-colonial Philippine government under the various presidents which served after the second world war. All of these you will learn in grade 6.
@@forminecraftmultiplayeracc2583 Not relevant, sure. But it is a heavily biased view of the Spaniards as the baddies especially with how teachers teach that history.

I’m Filipino, but this the first time I heard about this story. It’s amazing!
I'm from Alaminos City, Pangasinan where that famous Hundred Islands National Park is. As a kid, older people had always mentioned Limahong--and that he named our street after some mispronunciation of how a seafood is called--but we didn't fully know his history... Thanks for this!
Sadly the current mayor regime is just focused on getting money and has totally forgotten about the historical figure.
Its canon now that all Chinese rulers throughout history had the voice of the Chinese bulldozer from C&C Generals

This battle feels like it was a random faction skirmish in Age Of Empires online match
Trying to raid us Filipinos, especially our capital. Is a one way trip of getting kicked in the nuts. Considering that a lot of trade and culture stuff has made us into us.
It was the Stalingrad of Asia in WW2
no need to invade Manila for what, pagpag?
@@applesandgrapesfordinner4626It wasnt a stalingrad because it was declared an open city by Macarthur (bad decision btw) but at the end of the battle, 1000 american dead to a 16000 japanese dead, it wasn't a stalingrad, but its sure safe to say you did not read AP, which it specifically said that Macarthur declared it an open city. Battle of Shanghai was more of a stalingrad of asia, and the term Stalingrad of Asia does not belong to the Battle of Manila.
@@applesandgrapesfordinner4626Manila was technically more of the Asian version of Warsaw of WWII. The 2nd most bombed.. It was nothing like Stalingrad.
@@bmona7550and it never truly recovered after that. It was the center of trade and a booming city until the Japanese invaded and it got turned to rubble. 😢
Tfw this is getting close in the modern ages
it would be funny if you also do a video of Raid of Manila of 1798.
Which was a whacky Royal Navy false flag military operation led by Captain Edward Cooke during the *French Revolutionary Wars* , it was intended to scout the strength of the defences of Manila, at the capital of the Spanish Philippines.
A Chinese story that didn't end in cannibalism? Seems like a happy one.

Aaah, that part of history that could easly be a random match in age of empires 2.

Decades later, Spanish-colonial Philippines would have to deal with the Chinese again; this time the Sangley Revolt in Manila.

As a Filipino this is epic and hilarious
This is a weird title; it makes it sound like Philippines fought as a nation against whatever Chinese dynasty at that time, when I don't think Philippines were even a single country at this point, so its more like the Spaniards as colonizer of Philippines with whatever mercenaries they had fighting off a somewhat large Asian pirate fleet.
Now do the part where the Ottomans fought the Aztecs.

It's always really interesting to me the relationship between Mexico and Phillipines.
You gotta do Philippine rebellions, specifically the Pulahanes who were basically cultists fighting the Spanish and the Americans with machetes, amulets, holy oil, and spells. Some of the leaders were weird. One of them, Chris Elofre, not only started a rebellion but claimed magical powers and crossdressed.
Ottomans, Moro (Brunei), Egyptians, Arabrians, vs Spaniards, Filipinos, Mexicans (former Aztecs and other central American tribes) in the Philippines next would be nice.

Meanwhile, Indonesia become a civil war between the sultanate being intervened side by side: 💀
@@PitunghereTNOschizo100The entirety of the history of South East Asia is just wack NGL
@@bmona7550
Yea, my country had a civil war in the past because the highest ranking vizier went amok and commit regicide and took over the throne because his son was murdered over a cockfight
Context: The vizier's son won a cockfight against the sultan's son, but was murdered by the losing side of the fight. The vizier demanded the sultan to allow him to execute his son after the whole thing happened but the sultan said no and the vizier went amok and started to go on a killing spree at the sultan's palace which, unsuprisingly, killed the sultan as a result. He took over the throne after that and moved his administration to a fortified island. The murdered sultan's son- in law declared himself as the sultan and started a civil war to avenge his father-in law. He requested the Sulu Sultanate's assistance in return for... Sabah or the eastern side of it. In the end, he won however, the Sulu did got what they had promised. And that caused the ongoing Sabah dispute today and recent years
You could say that the Sabah dispute was caused by two members of the royal family having a cockfight
You should do Ben L Salomon next, the Dentist who basically held back an entire banzai charge to save his wounded patients so that they could escape. Or perhaps Hans Munch, the Auschwitz Guard who actively tried to save lives in that cursed place.
I saw the Simple History video on Ben Salomen, man was channeling some Sage of the Six Paths power.

Chinese pirates were just built different, there were several with fleet's larger than the emperor's.
Wait, what?? Both Chinese and Japanese fighting ALONGSIDE? This is new
It's the pirates, they don't give a shit about their government.
Money talks, in the past, now and forever more.
Mercenaries and some rogue Samurai. They all come in any race. Most were Chinese but I'm certain some were Korean and Japanese. The spice islands offered many bounties so of course.
Bound by poverty
Hoping for another one, this time during 1762
And aside from this second of the 5 battles of Manila, there are also other underrated events, that in my opinion were:
1, Voyage of the Bornean Datus of Panay
2, A 1365 battle (disputed) between Tondo and Majapahit in whats now Intramuros, and Sulu’s rebellion at the latter
3, Feud between Maynila and Tondo
4, Sangley rebellions of 1603 and 1639-40
5, The 3 revolts of 1660-61 (Pampanga, Pangasinan and Ilocos)
6, Revolt of Andres Novales
7, 1582 Cagayan battles

there were alot of settlements of okinawan/japanese pirates and chinese in Northern Luzon so I do think this is the first or only time Spaniards fought against them.

Strange to see Ilocanos being involved here, because few years later a Spanish written account by Miguel de Loarca specifically described Ilocanos as "peaceful" and "dislikes war".
They alongside the Kampangpangans were occasionally sent as part of the Spanish militia throughout the islands actually.

0:29 actually, Mestizos in the Philippines are half Spanish half Filipino and could be called 'Filipino nobles', while indios were native or pure-blooded Filipinos or just people that are not Spaniard blood. Not sure about Criollos though...
Ngl this is very refreshing to watch. The entirety of the 300 year Spanish colonial era could be summed up to "Spain bad, Friars racist". This is one of the few times some outside forces besides the Spaniards actually was the villains here lmao.
That is used to describe the Mexicans not the Philipinos. Mexico also used those adjectives. That is to say that the Mexicans were criollos(Spanish born in Mexico) Mestizos(half spanish half indigenous of Mexico) and Indio (indigenous Mexicans). This adjectives weren't exclusive to the philippines they were used accross the Spanish Empire.
The text is depicting the composition of the Mexicans that were part of the spanish garrison, which were composed of Europeans born in México(Criollos), Half Spanish-Native(Mestizos) and Indigenous(Mostly Tlaxcallans and Nahua soldiers from central México).
Mestizo in the Philippines could also be half Chinese and half Filipino, while Criollos are used to describe any Spaniard born and raised in its overseas possessions. Criollos in the Philippines were considered the "first" Filipinos, as before nationalism became a thing they were used to differentiate them from peninsular Spaniards (similar on how criollos were dubbed "americanos" in Spanish America).
