| Summary | "Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume, part of a larger work, explores the tumultuous period surrounding the Napoleonic Wars, particularly focusing on the events in Spain during the early 19th century. The text likely delves into the intricacies of military campaigns, political dynamics, and the social unrest that characterized this pivotal time in European history. At the start of this volume, the narrative zeros in on the immediate aftermath of significant political events, particularly the abdications of Spanish monarchs Ferdinand VII and Charles IV, which catalyzed widespread insurrection throughout Spain. The opening discusses the mounting tensions, depicting various regions igniting in revolt against French occupation, as feelings of betrayal and anger permeate the populace. Thiers describes the layers of conspiracy and resistance as different social strata respond to the crisis, highlighting the mobilization of juntas, the declaration of war against France, and the fervor of those rallying for national pride and autonomy.
