Process Paper
I chose my topic because I am very interested in the Philippines and its history. My topic is important because it is a strong example of self-determination, territorial integrity, religious rights, and the constant fight for independence. I did change my topic because I found this topic much more interesting and expandable. I narrowed my topic because the Philippine Revolution focuses on one general event in time.
I found all my research on the internet due to the fact that I couldn't find any useful books. I used connexions.org to find the revolts that caused the revolution. I used Philippine-history.org to find the basic run down of the Philippines and how this revolution started. I found my pictures in databases, on websites, and using personal pictures.
I chose to do a website because its fast, inexpensive and easier to do anytime. Creating a website made my project more portable, and easy to work with.
My topic is important to history because it is a strong example of societies coming together as a whole and fighting for freedom and the right to be a self-determined country that is equal to all others. If the United States had kept the Philippines independence from them, the Philippines would have become the 51st State. This revolution is an example of the right to religious rights and how everyone should be able to practice religion as they please.
