José Rizal fought against Spanish colonial rule primarily due to his deep sense of nationalism and a commitment to social reform. He was inspired by the injustices faced by Filipinos, including oppression, discrimination, and lack of representation. Through his writings, particularly "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo," he exposed the corrupt practices of the clergy and government, advocating for peaceful reform rather than violent revolution. Rizal's desire for education and equal rights for Filipinos propelled him to become a key figure in the struggle for independence.
