Carlist Wars Territory: home | Illustrated Chronology
Illustrated chronology
The First Carlist War (1833-1840) broke out after the death of Ferdinand VII. The immediate cause of this conflict was the refusal of her brother, the infante Don Carlos, to accept the succession to the throne of the king’s daughter, the future Isabel II. It was then that he called on his supporters – that is, the Carlists – to take up arms and encouraged them to seize power by force. The Carlists defended a traditional conception of the world under an absolute monarchy, a society based on the state and an important religious presence. Faced with them, the Elizabethans adopted liberal positions that led to a constitutional regime.
