Why did the Spanish resist France in the Napoleonic era?
>>216448700As if Napoleon wasn't a catholic despot lmao
>>216448700>invade country, start slaughtering local population >REEEEEEEEE WHY ARE THEY RESISTING MUH CATHOLIC DESPOTS REEEEEEEEEE
>>216448893I thought Poles liked Napoleon.
Some didn't resist, they were called "afrancesados"This such a stupid question, it is obvious
>>216448920We do, but let's be real here
>>216448700They wanted Bourbon cock along with all the STDs of poverty, incompetence, archaic institutions, broke economy, and so on in their asses.So much so that after their Bourbon masters came back to rape them they cried crocodile tears again in 1820s so Spanish Bourbons had to beg French Bourbons to come and invade Spain, Again.Fast forward another decade and they began chimping out against each other because they wanted the French liberalism of Joseph Bonaparte to modernize the country which spiralled into a series of wars known as Liberal Wars in Spain.>tl;DrASSpain is a country of retards.>>216448893Napoleon was a secular enlightened despot. He dissolved the joke that was Papal States and put the Pope in house arrest in 1809.
>>216449304This paki overdosed on pop-history videos on youtube and is now pretending he knows what he's talking about. Many such cases. Sad!
>>216449384he's probably a Farsi with a giant manly beard and benches twice your twink weight
>>216449449you two gypsies are probably cousins
>>216448915you deserve it for siding with the anglo
>>216449384Which African shithole you're from, pissflag?
>>216448700Napoleon deposed their king and was seen as hostile to their religion.Naturally that really offended the Spaniards.Back then people really placed a lot of respect on the concept of monarchy. They could do no wrong in the eyes of most people.Hell even in the United States war of Independence for a time the militia fighting the British army conceptualized themselves as only at war with the parliament, and still loyal to George III
>>216450858didnt you guys want to make washington king at first, too? Or atleast a subset of people
>>216448700this >>216449304>war of """"independence"""">it's all about replacing the wrong French king by the good French kingyou couldn't make that up
The Spanish actually welcomed the constitution and liberal reforms. I think it might have something to do with wanting to put Napoleon's brother on the throne by force but that's just me.
