ABDICACIONES de BAYONA 1808: cómo Napoleón arrebató el trono a Carlos IV y Fernando VII

In this video, we analyze the Abdications of Bayonne (1808), one of the most decisive episodes in Spanish history. Discover how Napoleon Bonaparte managed to seize the throne from Charles IV and Ferdinand VII, provoking an unprecedented dynastic crisis. Throughout the documentary, we explore the preceding context: the crisis of the Spanish monarchy, the rise of Manuel Godoy, the influence of the French Revolution, and the alliance with France following the Peace of Basel and the Treaty of San Ildefonso. We also analyze the entry of French troops into Spain after the Treaty of Fontainebleau (1807) and Joachim Murat's growing military control over Spanish territory. This process culminated in the Mutiny of Aranjuez (March 1808), which forced Charles IV to abdicate in favor of Ferdinand VII. The video rigorously explains how Napoleon exploited the internal weakness of the Spanish royal family to lure both monarchs to Bayonne, where the successive abdications that allowed the emperor to assume control of the monarchy took place. We delve into Ferdinand VII's journey to Bayonne, the diplomatic pressure exerted by Napoleon, the role of Savary, and the political tensions arising from the uprising of May 2, 1808, in Madrid. Finally, we address the consequences of the Abdications of Bayonne: the appointment of Joseph Bonaparte as King of Spain and the beginning of the Spanish War of Independence (1808-1814). This video offers a detailed, chronological, and rigorous reconstruction of the events, based on historiographical consensus and an analysis of the dynastic law of the Old Regime.
