THERE WAS A
BIG PROBLEM.
• For centuries, the quality of
life in Europe had been
determined by the status that
one held. This status was
determined by the family to
which someone was born. If
you were born to a poor
family, your life would be one
of poverty. No matter how
hard an individual worked, it
was impossible to rise.
Then, something
unthinkable happened
A group of people at the
bottom of society rebelled
against those who were at
the top, and what was
more remarkable, they
won.
1.This gap
between the
wealthy and the
poor created
resentment.
Those at the
bottom saw the
wealthy grow
increasingly
richer, while the
poor got
nothing.
14 July 1789
FRENCH REVOLUTION.
They attacked the Bastilla, the fortress
in París ,they wanted to fight in order
to get a better future for them and
their children.
Since then, the revolution expanded to
all France.
All together achieve their objective:
Finish with the priviledges,get equality
and liberty for all.
That’s whay the slogan of the French
Republic was: "Libertad, Igualdad y
Fraternidad”
The French Revolution was so
important because it changed the
gobernment style and finally people
were listened and could decide their
governors.
Who was he?
Luis XVI
Versalles 1754 -1793.King of
King of France and got
married with María
Antonieta.
He was not interested in
politics and was influenced
by his wife and some others
althought their advices were
not the best.
The priviledged class didn’t
agree on the economic
liberalism and that ended in
a political crisis.
Finally he was juzged and
died in the gillotine.

LET’S TRAVEL
TO SPAIN
CAN YOU TRY TO GUESS
WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN
SPAIN?
CARLOS IV
He came to the Spanish
throne in 1788 with the
begining of the French
Revolution.
He contributed to the
improvement of the
relationship with France.
In 1807 Manuel Godoy,
the Prime Minister signed
the treaty of
Fontainebleau with
Napoleon Bonaparte.
They agreed to invade
Portugal together and
then divide it into two
parts but Napoleon used
these oportunity to cross
through Spain to go to
Portugal to invade us .
Also he forced the king to
abdicate to put his brother
Jose Bonaparte on the
throne of Spain.
WHAT DID
PEOPLE DO?
Madrid inhabitants, 2 May 1808,
reveled against this invasion. Lot
of people were executed but the
rebel was extended through all the
country.That’s how the
Independence war started
It lasted for 6 years.

WAS IT A
WAR JUST
AGAINST
THE
FRENCH?
• The war ended in 1814 when
with the help of the British,
the French were defeated
and Napoleón recognised
Fernando VII as king of
Spain.
NO
It was also a civil war
about who the monach
should be.
One group agreed with
the French because
they thought it was the
best way to modernise
Spain.
The other group decided
to fight against the
French although some
wanted to come back to
absolutism and the
others wanted to carry
out the liberalization.
1812
The constitution stablished:
•Freedom of the press
•Equality for all
•Voting rights for all men over
18
•Freedom of expression
•National sovereignty
•A constitutional monarchy
A very important year.
At this time, Cadiz was
the only place that was
not under the French
rule.
There some delegates
from provinces met and
singned the most liberal
constitution.The first
Spanish Constitution.
WHAT
ABOUT THE
SPANISH
COLONIES
IN AMERICA?
Of course they also wante dto
be independent influenced by
the liberal ideas.
America’s independence from
Britain in 1776.
1825 Spain only had cuba and
Puerto Rico.
So, Rafael del Riego led a
military rebelion but in 1823
Fernando VII revoked the
constitution again as he had
suuport from other absolutists
in Europe.
It was a period of repression.
After his reign a sucession
problem started.
He returned to the
Spanish throne and
was wellcome as it
meant the end of
the French
occupation.
He declared the
constitution illegal
in 1814 and
became an
absolute monarch.
THE
SUCESSION
PROBLEM

There were two groups:
Carlist group were in favour of an absolute monarchy.

be the queen although
she was just 3 years old
when Fernando died in
1833.
Her mother Maria
Cristina and General
