British newspaper.

The 27 of December about at 19:30, Prim was coming out of the parliament. He was heading to his palace in  a carriage, when, at the Turco street , there were two carriage stopped at the middle of the road. Coronel Moya saw three army men dressed in white blouses comming near the presidential transport, according to what he told us. The three men shot on both sides of the carriage, so the glass windows broke up. A man introduced the gun cannon on the transport and Prim's assistant Nandín, who was in the carriage too, tried to protect prim putting his hand on the cannon, so, when the man shot, his hand was shattered. The aggression lasted only a few seconds, because they went quickly to the palace. Some doctors help him, and Nandin, his assistant was moved to the nearest ambulatory. Prim's wounds weren't serious enough to kill him, but the infection of them was the cause of his death. Amadeo of Savoy came from Italy to became king but when he noticed that his main supporter was death he returned to Italy.

                                    

The Sans Culottes - Battle of Chacabuco

Our Great Spanish Empire Crumbles

The battle of Chacabuco has been the starting point for the independence of Chile

Monday 17th of February, 1817
Madrid, Spain

Rafael Maroto

The battle of Chacabuco took place on Wednesday, February 12, at a 55 km hacienda in the city of Santiago, which took place between 11 am and 2 pm, two days ahead of schedule, so as not to give time to the forces realistic to reorganize, after several attacks in a row.

The Army of the Andes of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata led by General Capitain José de San Martín defeated the spanish force led by Rafael Maroto. It was a defeat for the royalist government established after the division of the Viceroyality of Peru.

General Capitain José San Martin

The forces sanmartinanas were divided in two, the right wing led by the argentine general and politician Miguel Estanislao Soler and the left wing by Bernardo O'Higgins.

They were determined to converge for the battle, but in the end the plan was not executed that way. O'Higgins, who logically when advancing by the shortest way, arrived first, with the mission to contain the enemies until the arrival of Soler. He attacked without waiting for Soler's arrival. While the battle was very committed for the criollos, the personal intervention of San Martin began to turn the battle of Chacabuco into a symbol of victory for the patriotic cause.

The arrival of Soler, definitely changed the direction of the meeting, since the surprise attack of this division, left the realists surprised and helpless.

The Spanish losses, amount to 500 dead men and 600 prisoners. As a booty of war, 100 rifles, two pieces of artillery and flags were taken. Emancipating forces killed 12 people and wounded 120. The governor of Chile, the spanish governator, Marcó del Pont, tried to flee to Valparaíso, but has been taken prisoner.

              WAR BETWEEN FAMILY!

The Carlist and the liberals fight to take their king at the top of the power.

The Family Of Carlos IV

After the death of our king, Ferdinand VII, on 29TH September  and the declaration of the pragmatic sanction to make his daughter heir to the throne as previous years in the reign of Felipe V approved a law that prevented women from inheriting the crown. The question of the succession is not only a dynastic matter, it is also political. It has caused that Carlos Maria Isidro, brother of the king, is in disagreement with this new decree together with a certain social group called the Carlists who supported the thoughts of Carlos.

The war between supporters of Isabel II (liberals) who have thoughts that advocated individual liberties such as right of life and freedom that are opposed to the absolutist thoughts of the Carlist. Isabell II has gained support in the high classes of the Spanish army, the church and the state. The Carlist force was made up by all who have refused the liberal Revolution: small rural nobility, lower clerics, and many farmers that believed in the increase of the taxes by the liberals.

The First Carlist War

Nowaday Maria Cristina Bourbon reigns as a regent until her daughter Isabel II reaches the age of mayority. 

Due to Carlos' fury he declared war on the legitimate queen and her supporters doing so The First Carlist War, to impose the idea of and absolutist monarchy and his arrival on the throne with the help of the conservatives. 

Which of the two ideas will win?
The liberalism or the carlist?
