They stopped in Aranjuez, and people made Carlos IV to abdicate on his son Fernando VII, in the Motín de Aranjuez (1808).

Napoleon cheated Carlos IV and Fernando VII, and he got the crown to his brother José I (Bonaparte). The population did not accept it, and the War of Independence started in 1808. It lasted until 1814, when the French were defeated, and Fernando VII was proclaimed king.

THE CONSTITUTION OF 1812

During the war, the Spanish Parliament moved to Cadiz. In 1812, they signed the Cadiz Consitution, which proclaimed Fernando VII as the king of a moderate monarchy, and gave some rights to citizens.

ANSWER TO THE QUESTIONS - Who was proclaimed king in the Constitution of 1812? - Why was it called "La Pepa"?

KINGDOM OF FERNANDO VII

In 1814, Fernando VII was the king, and he abolished the Cadiz Constitution and established an absolute monarchy. This caused the loss of many American colonies and a lot of political disorder.At the end of Fernando VII reign, there were economic problems.

He also had a problem because he only had a daughter. He asked for support to the liberals, and they changed the “Ley Sálica”. In 1833, Fernando VII died and Isabel II, who was only 3 years old, became the queen.

I GUERRA CARLISTA

In 1833, Fernando VII died and Isabel II, who was only 3 years old, became the queen.. Isabel’s uncle, Carlos María de Isidro, proclaimed himself the king, and the PRIMERA GUERRA CARLISTA started. It finished in 1840, when Isabel II was proclaimed queen.. She established a constitutional monarchy.

THE KINGDOM OF ISABEL II

In 1843, Isabel II was declared legally of age. During her reing the form of gobernment was a CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY, that limited her power. As the years passed, there were more authoritarian governments. That authoritarianism, together with an economic crisis, leaded to a conspiracy against Isabel II. In 1868 a revolution called "LA GLORIOSA" made the government to resign and Isabel to exile.

THE FIRST SPANISH REPUBLIC

When Isabel II exiled, a provisional government was formed and started looking for a King. In 1871 Amadeo de Saboya (an Italian relative) was declared king of Spain. He was a foreigner and had little support, so in 1873 he resigned and members of the Parliament declared the FIRST SPANISH REPUBLIC was proclaimed. The Republic also lacked support, and it lasted only 1 year.

A REPUBLIC is a form of government with no king.
