Disasters of War.
Great Deeds Against the Dead, the Spanish committed atrocities against the French as well in response for their actions. Spanish guerrillas and peasants were also known to have frequently unearthed dead Frenchmen and mutilated their corpses. One of the major problems that the Spanish intellectuals had with their kings was that they refused to give their subjects a constitution (a major goal of liberals in the early 19th century). In fact, after the Napoleonic Wars were over, Ferdinand had promised to rule with a written constitution. But when he went back on this promise this sparked a liberal revolt in Spain in the 1820s which was brutally suppressed.
