2nd MAY UPRISING

May uprising

The second of

In 1808, in France, Manuel Godoy and Mariscal Murat met to sign the treaty of Fontainebleau.

This brought the chaos to Spain…

If you sign here, our army will go through Spain to invade Portugal.

Lol ok

This guy is stupid

I hate france

Spain wasn´t prepared...

Have you heard about the treaty?

Yeah, im so glad to know that frenchies and portuguese are killing each other

i´m a bit afraid...

i can´t believe its so easy to scam spanish people

french people were literally laughing in Spanish faces

While the french army was arriving to Spain, Spanish people realized they were the ones getting invaded

There were french soldiers everywhere

are you sure this is spain?

Believe me, everywere

you gotta be kidding

yes they call it "asturias"

Without any resistance France took the control of Spain

But Madrid wasn´t going to allow it

lets kill those cheeseheads!!

So, the second of may 1808 Madrid fighted against the opression forces

we´re not going to surrender so easy, lets show them what we think about them!

Madrid people and French soldiers fighted for hours

Madrid fought with all they have, but it
wasn´t enough

French army had more soldiers and more weapons, so they easily won the batlle

And in the third of may 1808 French soldiers executed all of the survivors.

Even thought Madrid lost the batlle, the uprising of the secon of May encouraged the rest of Spain to rise too

This supossed the begining of the Spanish independence war wich ended with the Spanish victory in 1814
