DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the initial phase of the colon
 ization of the Philippines\nand the founding of Manila (1572)\, the Spania
 rds relied on the\nlucrative trade with China to sustain the colony and ac
 cumulate\nwealth rather than depend on the encomiendas\, as was\npreviousl
 y done in Central and South America.\nIt will be argued that the shift fro
 m land-control focused\ncolonization to trade as the main means of profit 
 caused social\ntensions among the Spanish settlers. These tensions were ma
 nifested\nin a series of plans for the invasion of China\, composed by var
 ious\nofficials in Manila in the 1570’s and the 1580’s\, of which the most
 \ndetailed is the plan of 1586.\nWhereas the phenomenon of these plans was
  previously ignored or\ntaken as a ridiculous example of Spanish folly and
  hubris\, this\npaper suggests that by studying them we might learn about 
 the way\nthe Spaniards grasped themselves as a rising power in Asia\, and
 \nalso of their perception of China and its culture.\n \nAbout the Speaker
 \nOmri Bassewitch Frenkel is a PhD candidate in the Department of\nHistory
  and Classical Studies\, 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ\nUniversity.\n
