The Propaganda Movement was a period from 1880-1895 when Filipino ilustrados called for political reforms under Spanish colonial rule. Led by figures like Rizal, Del Pilar, and Lopez Jaena, the movement aimed to achieve equality, assimilation, and representation through publications like La Solidaridad. Although the movement failed and ended with Rizal's exile in 1892, its ideals of freedom and justice paved the way for the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
