Rizal arrived in Madrid, Spain in 1882. There he studied the practice of Medicine, but his time in Europe allowed him to write a book exposing the Spanish colonial relationship with the Philippines. He then became actively involved in propaganda for a Filipino movement. In his time at Spain he learned how the colonizer was treating the colony. This allowed him to write his work, "Noli Me Tangere" which was published in his time in Germany in 1887. This sparked movements in the Philippines such as anti-colonization.
