The first phase of the process, from 1810 to 1815, was characterized by various conflicts between the defenders of the monarchy and the independentistas. In 1811, some provinces of New Granada were grouped together as a new independent state, consisting of a loose confederation of those provinces that had proclaimed government juntas in 1810.

In 1816, King Ferdinand VII's troops regained control of the country, which led to the Reconquest of New Granada led by the king's officer, Pablo Morillo.

In 1819, an independence army commanded by the Venezuelan soldier Simón Bolívar crossed the mountains that separated the provinces of Casanare and Tunja, and after the battles of Paya, Pantano de Vargas and Puente de Boyacá, obtained a free hand to take control of the capital. , Santa Fe, a city where he arrived on August 10, 1819.

At that time, the enlightened elite began to reflect on the ideas of popular sovereignty and the relations between mainland Spain and the rest of the empire.

Starting in 1810, the independence movement went through various stages depending on the military status of the insurgency, as successive leaders were defeated, captured, and imprisoned or executed by forces loyal to Spain. At first popular sovereignty was claimed but Ferdinand VII was recognized as king of Spain and its colonies, then the leaders later assumed more radical positions, including issues of social order such as the abolition of slavery.

A timid and misguided reaction by Viceroy Apodaca caused a military rout and determined the change of position of the New Spain elites that until then had supported Spanish rule. Finally, the independence of Mexico was consummated and it declared itself independent on September 27, 1821.]]> 2022-12-30 12:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_domenech/ov2zlfyzzm26sett/wish/2430660994 Independence of Argentina (1810-1820) gabriel_domenech https://padlet.com/gabriel_domenech/ov2zlfyzzm26sett/wish/2430681734 In the history of Argentina, the period of independence is known as the period between the May Revolution of 1810 and the Anarchy that dissolved all national authorities, in the year 1820.

During this period, the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata – initial name of the current Argentine Republic – began its existence as a sovereign country, successfully sustained it through a prolonged War of Independence, and declared its independence.

He was also the first Duke of Aosta and head of the Savoy-Aosta branch.
He was elected King of Spain by the Cortes Generales in 1870 after the dethronement of Isabel II in 1868.

He was reigned for a little over two years, in his period as king there was political instability. During this period of time, 6 rulers rose and none succumbed to the crisis, aggravated by the independence conflict in Cuba, which had begun in 1868, and a new Carlist war, which began in 1872. His abdication and his return to Italy in 1873 led to the Declaration of the First Spanish Republic.

How he came to be king was thanks to the fact that he was always a candidate, at that time Spain was poor and the constitution was looking for a candidate who would fit constitutionally into the monarchy]]> 2022-12-30 16:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_domenech/ov2zlfyzzm26sett/wish/2430721537 the 4 presidents jana_perramon https://padlet.com/gabriel_domenech/ov2zlfyzzm26sett/wish/2430752793 The Republic was governed by four distinct presidents—Estanislao Figueras, Francesc Pi i Margall, Nicolás Salmerón, Emilio Castelar; then, only eleven months after its proclamation, General Manuel Pavía led a coup d'état and established a unified republic dominated by Francisco Serrano.

That was the case, those were times of poverty

The first republic in Spain did not last even a year. The tension and political radicalization was such that in that short period of time there were four presidents of the first republic.
The first president was Figueras, who became so fed up with political problems that one day he left his office and headed directly for Paris. Shortly before this stampede, he gathered his supporters and his opponents and told them solemnly: "Gentlemen, I'm fed up with all of us."
Its second president, Pi y Margall, described the disappointments that politics had given him in this way: "My bitterness in power has been so much that I cannot covet it. In government, I have lost my tranquility, my rest, my illusions, my confidence in men, which constituted the bottom of my character. For every grateful man, a hundred ungrateful; for every disinterested and patriotic man, hundreds who did not seek in politics but the satisfaction of their appetites. I have received evil for good..."
The third president was Nicolás Salmerón, famous as Castelar, for his oratory. He resigned because he was not willing to sign an order that went against his principles. Indeed, on the mausoleum in the Madrid cemetery where he is buried you can read: "He abandoned power for not signing a death sentence."
The fourth was Emilio Castelar. When he took over the executive power, he said in a speech in the Cortes: "To sustain this form of government I need a lot of infantry, a lot of cavalry, a lot of artillery, a lot of Civil Guards and many police officers."

Despite the name, the actual number of troops was around 60,000
In 1822, Ferdinand VII applied the terms of the Congress of Vienna, lobbied for the assistance of the other absolute monarchs of Europe, in the process joining the Holy Alliance . In France, the ultra-royalists pressured Louis XVIII to intervene. The Duc de Richelieu deployed troops along the Pyrenees Mountains along the France-Spain border, charging them with halting the spread of Spanish liberalism and the "yellow fever" from encroaching into France. In September 1822 this "cordon sanitaire" became an observation corps and then very quickly transformed itself into a military expedition. ]]> 2023-01-05 16:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_domenech/ov2zlfyzzm26sett/wish/2434853863 The death of Fernando VI and the “Pragmática sanción” melani_capdevila https://padlet.com/gabriel_domenech/ov2zlfyzzm26sett/wish/2434860953 Ferdinand had no children from his three marriages, and his absolutist supporters looked to his even more absolutist younger brother, Don Carlos (Carlos María Isidro de Borbón), to succeed him. In 1830 his fourth wife, María Cristina, gave birth to a daughter, the future Isabella II. Isabella’s birth prompted Ferdinand to revoke the Salic Law of Succession, which prevented women from acceding to the throne. During Ferdinand’s illness, Don Carlos tried to persuade the queen to recognize his rights, but Ferdinand recovered, banished Don Carlos, and looked for moderate liberal support for his young daughter. When Ferdinand died in September 1833, Isabella was recognized as the sovereign, but his widow was obliged to lean on the liberals as Don Carlos asserted his claims from Portugal and thus began the First Carlist War. ]]> 2023-01-05 16:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriel_domenech/ov2zlfyzzm26sett/wish/2434860953
