In 1788, Charles IV became king of Spain. He left his valido Manuel Godoy in control of the government. At the beginning of the 19th century, Godoy allowed Napoleon to pass throughout Spain so he could conquer Portugal.
00:00:13
The French took control of Spain instead. Napoleon took King Charles IV and his family to France. Napoleon named Jose I his brother king of Spain.
00:00:29
On the 2nd of May, 1808, many villagers in Madrid rebelled against the French soldiers who were there.
00:00:42
Spain, Great Britain and Portugal united units to fight against the Napoleonic Empire until 1830.
00:00:51
The Spanish weakened Napoleon's army by forming guerrillas.
00:01:03
During the war, the High Court in Cadiz created the Constitution of 1812.
00:01:13
This was the first liberal constitution which made all Spanish people equal before the law and eliminated absolutists.
00:01:21
The reign of Ferdinand VII
00:01:33
Ferdinand VII ruled from 1814 to 1833.
00:01:40
He was an absolutist king and wanted to revoke the constitution of Cádiz, but the colonel
00:01:44
Trego forced him to keep it during three years.
00:01:50
Before his death, Ferdinand VII revoked the Salic law.
00:01:54
This allowed his daughter, Isabella II, to take the throne after him, but many people
00:01:58
didn't want it and supported his brother Charles.
00:02:03
These people were called Carlists.
00:02:07
The reign of Isabella II
00:02:16
Before Isabella II ruled, her mother and the general Espartelo controlled the country.
00:02:18
When she was 13 she started ruling, but the country was unstable due to the two girlish wars
00:02:24
and because the leaders that supported the queen were divided into two groups,
00:02:33
moderates that wanted to give more power to the queen and progressives that wanted to give more power to the high court.
00:02:38
In 1868, Isabella II abdicated.
00:02:45
When Isabella II abdicated, the democratic period began.
00:02:52
This was led by a liberal progressive group that supported universal male suffrage.
00:03:01
The High Court chose an Italian named Amadeo de Savoia.
00:03:07
In 1873, Amadeo I abdicated the throne.
00:03:12
He declared the first republic and established a federal regime, supported by the middle
00:03:17
class that hoped to improve the poor working conditions of laborers.
00:03:23
Great instability was caused by the cantonal revolution, the Cuban war and the Third Carlist
00:03:28
War.
00:03:35
A military coup put an end to the republic and Alfonso XII restored the monarchy.
00:03:36
Restoration Alfonso XII's regime began in 1875.
00:03:47
His ideas were represented in the Constitution of 1876, only males with high incomes were
00:03:58
elected to vote.
00:04:05
In order to stabilize the political situation, Alfonso XII devised political alternation.
00:04:06
was alternated between the Conservative Party, Canovas and the Liberal Party, led by Sergasta.
00:04:16
For this to be possible, the electoral results were manipulated. This was the job of classicists,
00:04:22
powerful landowners and politicians in rural areas that pressured farm workers to vote in favor of
00:04:29
their interests. The Carleys, the Republicans and labor movements, socialists and anarchists
00:04:36
and the majority of academics were opposed to this political system.
00:04:42
They supported the revival of Spain through education and cultural development.
00:04:48
The Regency of Maria Cristina, from 1885 to 1902.
00:05:00
When Alfonso XII died, his wife, Maria Cristina of Hapsburg, took control of the throne until
00:05:05
her son, Alfonso XIII, was old enough to rule.
00:05:13

00:05:19
male suffrage in 1890.
00:05:24
But the most important was the Crisis of 98.
00:05:26
This occurred in 1898, as the consequence of the war with the United States.
00:05:29
Spain lost the last remaining colonies, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Philippines.
00:05:35
This event is considered to be the end of the Spanish Empire.
00:05:40
It led to the Spanish citizens feeling negative about the country.
00:05:44
The 19th century was a period of social and economic growth.
00:05:47
Agriculture continued to be the main industrial activity.
00:05:59
Economic transformation.
00:06:04
Two-thirds of the population worked in agriculture, but the results were minimal.
00:06:05
To improve the situation, an expropriated land opening by the courts and city municipalities
00:06:12
was actuated off.
00:06:18
The situation did not improve as hoped, and there were frequent farm worker revelations.
00:06:21
Commerce progressed thanks to the development of railways, the telegraph, roads, canals and ports.

00:07:11
The middle class was formed by small militants, civil servants and professionals.
00:07:18
The lower class, that was the 80% of the population, was formed by farm workers and industrial
00:07:24
laborers.
00:07:34
The people lived in terrible conditions, with long work hours, low salaries and solitary
00:07:35
housing and illiteracy.
00:07:44
Then, the first political organizations, anarchists and social unions appeared in order to improve the life conditions of the low class.
00:07:46
