Popular Revolution, 2 of May of 1808. At the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon Bonaparte, a French military man and statesman, who in 1799 had become first consul of France, proclaimed himself emperor of all French in the year 1804. 00:00:05
His lust for power led him to conquer a large part of Europe in what was called the Napoleonic Wars, which beat him, among others, against England and Portugal, in addition to his former ally Spain. 00:00:32
Among his plans was to name his brother José King of Spain and thus ensure his advantage in the conflict. 00:00:49
With the excuse of reaching the Kingdom of Portugal and support by the Treaty of Fontainebleau 00:00:58
seen by the Spanish Prime Minister, Immanuel Godoy, in 1807, Napoleon sent his great imperial 00:01:09
army across the peninsula, but his plans were quite different. 00:01:17
The French army, under the command of General Junot, crossed the Spanish territory in the 00:01:24
autumn of 1807, arriving in Portugal in November, but meanwhile its soldiers were taking positions 00:01:29
in different Spanish cities, since their purpose was to overthrow the king of Spain, Carlos 00:01:37
IV. 00:01:46
In Spain, King Carlos IV has reigned since 1788, who had inherited the throne on the 00:01:51
death of his father, King Carlos III, and unlike there, he did not care much about the 00:02:01
affairs of the kingdom because he liked to go hunting more, for which he delegated the 00:02:08
word of government to a young royal guard who, thanks to the favor of the queen, had 00:02:14
been appointed prime minister with full powers and full authority. 00:02:20
It was Manuel Godoy, the king's minister. 00:02:25
In those days, Napoleon was the most important leader in Europe and his army, La Grande Armée, 00:02:33
was considered the strangest in the world. 00:02:40
For this reason, when he began to invade Spanish territory with the excuse of arriving in Portugal, 00:02:44
King Carlos IV did not put an impediment in addition his minister Godoy agreed, because 00:02:51
he had previously agreed with Napoleon. 00:02:57
But the Spanish people did not see in that way and they began to worry. 00:03:00
King Carlos IV had a son. 00:03:08
It was Prince Fernando, who was very ambitious and very jealous of the favor that his parents 00:03:11
granted to the minister Godoy. 00:03:19
So taking advantage of the discontent caused by the French invasion of Spanish territory, 00:03:21
he began to conspire to ask Godoy. 00:03:27
But his plans went far, much farther. 00:03:31
He wanted to be king of Spain. 00:03:36
With a series of Spanish nobles who preferred him as king, he conspired against his father 00:03:41
in the call, La Conjura del Escorial, de 1807. 00:03:49
But in the end his plans failed and he had to apologize to his parents. 00:03:55
The months were passing and the French occupation army was getting bigger. 00:04:04
As we remember that Napoleon's final plan was to remove the Spanish kings to name his 00:04:09
brother José King of Spain, this made Godoy himself begin to worry and decide that King 00:04:15
Carlos IV and his family should leave the court and take refuge in the palace of Aranjuez 00:04:22
in order to escape to America. 00:04:30
When the people found out, they assaulted the Godoy Palace with the intention of imprisoning 00:04:34
and dethroning King Carlos IV, who was held responsible for all ills. 00:04:40
Now they want a new king. 00:04:47
They want Prince Fernando to become king. 00:04:49
In this way, Prince Fernando became the King of Spain, with the name of Fernando III. 00:04:55
Las abdicaciones de Bayona de 1808 The new king, Fernando VII, needs Napoleon 00:05:06
to recognize him as such since it means that his plans to overthrow his father Carlos IV 00:05:15
would have this support, however, Napoleon continued with his plans. 00:05:24
For this, he decided Fernando VII to go to the French city of Bayona with the promise 00:05:32
that there he would recognize him as king. 00:05:39
The former king, Carlos IV, also wanted to travel to Bayona because he wanted to reign 00:05:46
the throne sent by his son, and that Napoleon would help him, but Napoleon had another plan, 00:05:56
and during that week he managed to get Fernando to abdicate again in his father Carlos and 00:06:07
later to have King Carlos abdicate in his own person. 00:06:14
Now Napoleon, as the circumstantial king of Spain, could name however he wanted. 00:06:19
While all this was happening in Bayona, with the kings Carlos and Fernando meeting with Napoleon, 00:06:31
the court of Spain was in the hands of the most important of the French generals, 00:06:38
who was also the emperor's brother-in-law. 00:06:45
It was Joaquín Murat, Grand Duke of Berck. 00:06:48
For this reason, when people found out that they planned to send the two young children 00:06:52
of King Carlos IV to Baggiona along with their parents and Napoleon, there was the largest 00:07:00
and most heroic appraising by the people of Madrid to the scream, ¡Que no los llevan! 00:07:08
The revolt began at the royal palace but a little it moved to all corners of Madrid where 00:07:17
people armed with various objects attacked French soldiers. 00:07:26
The entire people of Madrid participated in the revolt and great heroic figures emerged 00:07:34
such as the seamstress Manuela Malasaña who gave her life while fighting with her father 00:07:40
for the cause. 00:07:49
While the army had received orders not to attack, the military from the Monteleón Artillery 00:07:55
Barracks joined the popular action, and their leaders commanded the fight until they died. 00:08:02
Capitanes de Ahoyz and Velarde were the heroes of the armed struggle. 00:08:11
Along with them was Teniente Jacinto Ruiz, who being ill, went to the faith-taking church of one of the canons. 00:08:25
He fought bravely, receiving severe service in forest, which would cost him his life a year later. 00:08:36
After suffocating the revolt in a very hard way, General Murat began an even harsher persecution and repression, ordering the execution of any rebel who had participated and was found with weapons. 00:08:44
The general painter of the court, Francisco de Goya, lived and represented in one of his most important paintings. 00:09:06
The Sacrifice to the Heroes of May II was the spark that ignited in the rest of the population. 00:09:21
The mayors of many Spanish cities support the start of the revolt and in the Madrid population of Mostoles and later was issued, inviting all Spanish people to stand up to the French invader. 00:09:28
This beginning one of the most important wars in Spain because they were all fighting together against a foreign invader. 00:09:47
The Spanish War of Independence, that gave rise to the first constitution in Cadiz in the year of 1812. 00:09:58
Since that day, 212 years ago, we have celebrated the heroic feat in which a handful of people from Madrid 00:10:09
feted the largest army in the world. 00:10:24
