| Historical Convergence - Mark Twain, Winston S. Churchill, and Andres Bonifacio (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Born in 1863, Andres Bonifacio founded the Katipunan on July 7, 1892, to fight for the independence of the Philippines, then a colony of Spain. |
 | | Bonifacio led the revolution until 1897 when, during a power struggle within the Katipunan, he was replaced by Emilio Aguinaldo and assassinated on Aguinaldo's orders. |
 | | The head of the revolution [Bonifacio] "advised caution and urged the leaders to abandon their immature plans to overthrow the Spanish authority." According to the book, "it is told" that Aguinaldo assassinated him, took the headship himself, and ordered an instant attack on the priests' houses and outlying military posts. |
