San Felipe Incident (1596)
On October 19, 1596, the Spanish ship ''San Felipe'' was shipwrecked in Urado on the Japanese island of Shikoku en route from Manila to Acapulco in the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade. The local daimyō Chōsokabe Motochika seized the cargo of the richly laden Manila galleon, and the incident escalated to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, ruling '' taikō'' of Japan. The pilot of the ship suggested to Japanese authorities that it was Spanish ''modus operandi'' to have missionaries infiltrate a country before an eventual military conquest, as had been done in the Americas and the Philippines. This led to the crucifixion of 26 Christians in Nagasaki, the first lethal persecution of Christians by the state in Japan. The executed were later known as the Twenty-Six Martyrs of Japan.

At the time, the Japanese were very much looking forward to acquiring Chinese goods such as silk and por ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
