Amadeo I was the only king of Spain called by that name. He ruled from 1871 to 1873 but faced many problems, including an uprising for Cuban independence, uprisings by Carlists in the Basque Country and Catalonia, and by republicans who wanted Spain to become a republic instead of a monarchy. Additionally, the Catholic Church did not support him because he had confiscated and sold Church properties, and he was unpopular because he was seen as a foreigner from Italy who did not speak Spanish well. His reign was further complicated by the assassination of General Juan Prim, who had played a key role in making Amadeo king.
