    Spain in The 19th Century - War of Independence

    Uploaded by

    Maria Dolores Lopez Rodriguez
    In the early 19th century, Spain was embroiled in the War of Independence against Napoleon's forces. This included a popular uprising in 1808 in Madrid after Napoleon moved the Spanish royal family to France. While the country was divided in its support, guerrilla forces continuously attacked the French troops. By 1812, the French nearly occupied all of Spain but were pushed back by 1814 through Spanish, British, and Portuguese efforts. In 1812, the Parliament of Cádiz produced Spain's first constitution, which embraced the principles of liberalism, national sovereignty, and separation of powers.
