Question

Spain was conquered by france during the 19th century why?

Answer 1

The 19th century is a century of change in Spain. The liberal movements and ideals that came from the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century prompted the Spanish to fight for their rights. There were many political movements from 1808 to the beginning of the 1900s, alternating between liberal governments and absolutists one. It's also during this period that the First Spanish Republic took place, although it was short lived. The 19th century set the foundation for further democratic and liberal movement that would take place in Spain during the 20th century.
