Contemporary history: Spain in the 19th century6

Viva la Pepa!

After a long and dangerous journey, I arrive in Cádiz to attend a secret meeting. It is not my first time here; two years ago, in 1812, I was part of a big celebration for the approval of the Constitution of Cádiz, the first Spanish constitution.

We call it La Pepa because it was approved on 19th March, Saint Joseph’s Day. We believed the Constitution would help modernize Spain. The Constitution recognized Ferdinand VII as king, but it also included new ideas, like making all men equal and protecting freedom of the press.

The Constitution only lasted two years, and now they arrest anyone who supported it.

A man walks by me in the street and whispers: ‘Viva la Pepa!’ It is our motto. I follow him, and I promise myself to never stop defending ideas like equality, liberty and justice.

The 19th century

The War of IndependenceIn 1807, Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor of France, decided to occupy Portugal. The King of Spain, Charles IV, allowed him to go across Spain. On their way, the French troops invaded some Spanish cities. This caused a popular revolt which forced Charles IV to abdicate. His son, Ferdinand VII, became king.

Soon after, Napoleon forced Ferdinand VII to abdicate so he could proclaim his brother, Joseph Bonaparte, the new king.

However, the population of Madrid did not accept him and rebelled against the French. This started the War of Independence. 1 This war lasted until 1814, when the French were defeated and Ferdinand VII returned as King of Spain.

During the war, the Spanish Parliament moved to Cádiz. In 1812, its members wrote Spain’s first constitution, the Constitution of Cádiz. 2 It limited the king’s power and established rights for citizens, including the right to vote for men twenty-five years old or older.

The reign of Ferdinand VIIIn 1814, Ferdinand VII returned as King of Spain. 3 He abolished the Constitution of Cádiz and re-established an absolute monarchy. This caused political disorder and, as a result, most of the American colonies became independent.

1 The Third of May 1808 by Francisco de Goya represents the beginning of the War of Independence.

The reign of Isabella II

In Spain, according to the law of succession, only men could reign. However, Ferdinand VII changed this law so his daughter could ascend to the throne. Isabella II became queen when Ferdinand VII died in 1833. 4

During her reign, there was a constitutional monarchy that limited her power. However, numerous military conflicts and changes of government led to a revolution, and in 1868, Isabella II went into exile.

The First Spanish Republic

In 1871, Amadeo de Saboya of Italy became king. However, since he was a foreign monarch, he did not have much support, and he abdicated two years later.

In 1873, members of Parliament proclaimed a republic, a form of government with no king. This First Spanish Republic also lacked support and failed after about a year.

The Spanish Restoration

In 1874, the son of Isabella II, Alfonso XII, was crowned King of Spain, and a new historical period, known as the Restoration, began. 5

At the end of the 19th century, Spain lost its last colonies in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines.

The Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution originated in the United Kingdom at the end of the 18th century, and then it extended to other countries. In Spain, the Industrial Revolution took place in the 19th century. Factories were built mainly in Catalonia and the Basque Country.

Small craftsmen’s workshops were replaced by factories with machines operated by workers. The steam engine was invented and a new energy source, coal, was used. Thanks to the steam engine, trains and steamboats were developed, and new machines allowed the textile and metal industries to advance dramatically. 1

As a consequence of the Industrial Revolution, many important economic and social changes took place. A society that was based on agriculture transformed into a society based on industrial activities.

WORK WITH THE PICTURE

1 In the 19th century, factories were built in cities.

The railway

In 1814, George Stephenson, an English engineer, built the first steam locomotive. It was used to transport goods.

In 1830, the first passenger railway service in England was opened.

The first railway line in Spain, between Barcelona and Mataró, opened in 1848.

Society

Society in the 19th century was divided into three social classes, based on wealth. 2

The upper class consisted of the wealthiest people: the aristocrats and the bourgeois.

– The aristocrats were nobles who owned large areas of land.

– The bourgeois were factory owners, prosperous merchants and bankers.

The middle class consisted of small merchants and entrepreneurs, small landowners, and professionals such as doctors, lawyers and engineers.

The lower class consisted of poorer people, such as peasants and factory workers.

– The peasants worked on the land of the large landowners.

– The factory workers worked in exchange for wages. Their living conditions were very hard. They worked more than twelve hours a day for very low wages. They lived in undeveloped neighbourhoods with no electricity or running water. In addition, many children worked in factories for wages even lower than those paid to adults. In order to protect their interests, workers formed groups known as labour unions.

2 In the 19th century, society was organized into three social classes. A. Upper class. B. Middle class. C. Lower class.

1 Make an index card about the Industrial Revolution, including date and place of origin, main inventions and industries developed.

2 WRITING. Compare society in the 19th century with society in the feudal system. How were they alike? How were they different?

Architecture

At the beginning of the 19th century, neoclassical architecture developed. Buildings were constructed in a style similar to that of Greek and Roman architecture, such as the Gate of Toledo in Madrid. 1

During this century, iron bridges were built and new types of buildings were created, such as railway stations made of iron and glass. 2

At the end of the century, a new architectural style, known as Modernism, was born. Modernist buildings show curved and wavy shapes that simulate forms in nature.

In Spain, the best-known modernist architect was Antoni Gaudí, creator of the Casa Milà in Barcelona. 3

Sculpture

The transformation of cities influenced sculpture. During this century, squares, gardens and avenues were decorated with beautiful sculptures made mainly of stone. 4

Painting

At the beginning of the 19th century, Francisco de Goya was painter at the Spanish Court and painted portraits of Charles IV and Ferdinand VII. However, he also painted popular scenes such as festivals and wine harvests. Goya is considered one of the greatest artists in history. 5

At the end of the 19th century, Impressionism was born. This art movement introduced innovative painting techniques. Impressionist painters put more emphasis on colour than drawing, as well as on the effect of light in landscapes. The most important Spanish impressionist painter was Joaquín Sorolla. 6

Literature

During the 19th century, there were great writers in Spain, such as the playwright José Zorrilla; the poets Rosalía de Castro and Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer; and the novelists Benito Pérez Galdós and Leopoldo Alas ‘Clarín’.

At the end of the century, when Spain lost its last colonies, a group of writers known as the Generation of '98 wrote pessimistically about the social and political situation of Spain. This group included writers such as Pío Baroja, Miguel de Unamuno, Antonio Machado and Ramón María del Valle-Inclán.
