Tirad Pass was in the Philippines in 1899 CE, over two thousand years after the Spartans had passed into history. It was known as the 'Philippines Thermopylae', which may have led to the confusion.
Battle of Tirad Pass happened on 1899-12-02.
The Spartan warriors played a crucial role in the Battle of Thermopylae by bravely defending the narrow pass against the Persian army, delaying their advance and allowing other Greek forces to prepare for battle. Their sacrifice and determination became a symbol of courage and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
They did hold it for three days, to force a sea battle against the Persians. When the Persians won the sea battle, the Pass had no further use, and the Greek force was withdrawn. The Spartan and Thespian contingents stayed holding the pass to let the other city contingents escape.
He was the "Hero of Tirad Pass" and was also one of the youngest and bravest filipino general ever recorded in history.
