The history of the Philippines from 1521 to 1898, also known as the Spanish Colonial Period, began with the arrival in 1521 of European explorer Ferdinand Magellan sailing for Spain, which heralded the period when the Philippines was a colony of the Spanish Empire, and ended with the outbreak of the Spanish–American War in 1898, which marked the beginning of the American Colonial Era of Philippine history.
