José Rizal called for peaceful reform of Spain's colonial rule in the
Philippines. After his 1896 execution, he became an icon for the nationalist
movement.
Synopsis
José Rizal was born on June 19, 1861, in Calamba, Philippines. While living
in Europe, Rizal wrote about the discrimination that accompanied Spain's colonial
rule of his country. He returned to the Philippines in 1892, but was exiled due to
his desire for reform. Although he supported peaceful change, Rizal was convicted
of sedition and executed on December 30, 1896, at age 35.
Early Life

Who Was Jose Rizal?
Jose Rizal was a writer. He composed all of these pieces in addition to
letters, diary entries, and some other speeches. He was a major advocate for
reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. His works and his words
made him a major target during the revolution, and he was put on trial
and executed for his beliefs, making him a martyr of the revolution. When he was
put to death, he was only 35 years ago. He had achieved so much as a young
man, that we can only imagine that he would have accomplished had he been
given the opportunity.
