In 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte became a consul. He started a series of changes in France and in 1804, he was crowned king. In different states, he placed people from his family.
All this triggered nationalist feelings in parts of the invaded territories and resistance movements were born to fight against the invasion. The protagonists of these movements were called โpatriotsโ (patriotas in Spanish).
It didnโt last long. In 1814, he was beaten in Russia and he got exiled in the island of Elba.
In this image, we can see a Spanish patriota kicking Napoleon Bonaparte into the sea.
(This is the same period as Goyaโs Caprichos analysed in the โHistoryโ section).
