Hello everybody! Welcome to History for Sixth Graders. I am Alba and this is the first chapter 00:00:00
of our trip through the history of Spain. Today we are going to talk about the War of 00:00:11
Independence. We are at the beginning of the 19th century and Carlos IV was the king of 00:00:20
Spain at that moment. He was an absolute monarch, that means he had all the power. The queen 00:00:31
María Luisa helped the king to govern the country and also the prime minister Manuel 00:00:40
Godoy. People in the country said that Manuel and María Luisa had an affair, but we are not 00:00:46
sure about that. In 1807, Napoleon Bonaparte, the emperor of France, wanted to occupy Portugal, 00:00:52
but to do that he had to cross through Spain, so he asked Carlos IV for help to invade Portugal. 00:01:00
Carlos allowed him to go through the territories of Spain, but Napoleon was cheating on him and 00:01:08
on his way to Portugal he invaded some Spanish cities. The population was very angry because 00:01:15
Carlos IV had left France troops to invade Spain, so the minister Godoy told the kings to exile to 00:01:22
America to be safer and to wait until the things were better. To get prepared to go to America, 00:01:30
they stopped in Aranjuez and the people in the city rebelled against Carlos IV and made 00:01:38
him abdicate on his son Fernando VII. Remember that abdicate is to renounce the crown into another 00:01:43
person. That rebellion is called the Motín de Aranjuez and it happened the 17th of March 1808. 00:01:50
After that rebellion, Napoleon cheated again Carlos IV and also Fernando VII. He forced 00:01:56
Fernando VII, who was the king, to abdicate into his father Carlos IV again and then he made Carlos 00:02:03
renounce the crown to finally get the crown to himself, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Napoleon gave it 00:02:11
to his brother José Bonaparte. Finally, José Bonaparte was proclaimed king José I. 00:02:17
The population of Spain was divided between those who supported José I, who were called 00:02:26
afrancesados and thought that the liberalist idea of France were better for Spain, 00:02:32
and those who didn't accept it and still thought that Fernando VII was the king of Spain. 00:02:38
This made the war of independence to start, the 2nd of May 1808. That day, the population of 00:02:43
Madrid reigned against the French occupation. The following day, the 3rd of May, the French troops 00:02:49
made lots of executions. Both days, the 2nd and the 3rd of May, are very well represented in some 00:02:55
very famous Goya paintings. After that, the war spread through all the territory of Spain. 00:03:03
During the war, the Spanish parliament, the one who supported Fernando VII, 00:03:13
moved to Cádiz. In 1812, they signed the first constitution of Spain. It was called La Pepa 00:03:18
because it was signed the 19th of March, that was the day of San José, and people went out 00:03:26
to the streets shouting ¡Viva la Pepa! The constitution proclaimed Fernando VII as the 00:03:32
king of Spain. It said that it was a parliamentary monarchy and gave some rights to citizens, 00:03:37
like the right to vote and other important rights, and also representation of the population in the 00:03:44
courts. So, the absolute monarchy finished. At the end of 1813, Napoleón Bonaparte had to take 00:03:50
his troops out of Spain because he had a very important fight in Russia. This marked the 00:03:58
beginning of the end of the war, that finished in 1814, when finally the French were defeated 00:04:04
and Fernando VII was finally proclaimed king for all the Spanish territory. In 1814, 00:04:10
when Fernando was the king, he abolished the Cádiz constitution and established an absolute 00:04:20
monarchy. But that's a story I will tell you in our next History for 6th graders. Bye-bye! 00:04:25
