“¡Vivan las Caenas!”—in Spanish with English Subtitles

Beginning with the Battle of Bailén, this program charts the erratic course of politics in Spain that saw Ferdinand VII deposed by Napoleon and replaced by the emperor’s brother, Joseph; reinstated at the end of the Peninsular War by the victorious allied forces; constrained by a coup in 1820 to abide by the liberal Constitution of 1812; and unbound by a second coup to resume his authoritarian reign—an era known as the Decada Ominosa. Wars for independence in Spain’s American possessions are also chronicled. Dramatizations and film clips capture the harshness of the period. Viewer discretion is advised. Not available in French-speaking Canada. An RTVE Production. (Spanish with English subtitles, 50 minutes)
