The Propaganda Movement was a group of Filipinos in the late 19th century who studied in Europe and used literature and writing to advocate for political reforms in the Philippines, including the removal of the tobacco monopoly, shorter forced labor periods, and a tax replacement. While they succeeded in achieving some initial reforms, their funds ran out, some members were killed including their leader Jose Rizal, and they ultimately failed to gain independence from Spain at that time.
