The battle of Cavite was decisive for the fate of the Philippines in 1898. Erroneous recurrent versions attribute the Spanish defeat to their old-fashioned vessels. Other versions, however, explain the North-american victory on the basis of arguments such as the decisive British logistic support which made possible the atack from Hong Kong; the moral and material erosion caused on the Spanish troops by the previous philippine insurrection; the tensions within the archipelago; serious mistakes as regards planification, and the sense of defeatism with which the Spanish high officers were seized.
