"Triennium: A Glimpse into Spain's Constitutional Struggles" Step back in time to the early 19th century, where a tumultuous period known as the Triennium unfolded in Spain. It all began with the Proclamation of the Constitution in Madrid, 1820, marking a significant shift towards liberalism and constitutional monarchy. In this era of political upheaval, key figures emerged on both sides of the ideological spectrum. Rafael del Riego, portrayed by J. Cebrian, became an emblematic liberal hero whose actions shaped Spanish history. On the other hand, Pablo Morillo y Morillo (El Pacificador) represented conservative forces seeking stability amidst chaos. The Civil War that engulfed Spain from 1820 to 1823 saw intense battles and fierce resistance against absolutism. The General liberal's conquest of Seo de Urgell showcased their determination to defend constitutional values against opposing factions. Valencia rose up in an uprising fueled by unwavering loyalty to the Spanish Constitution of 1812—a symbol of hope for those yearning for democratic reforms. Meanwhile, satirical cartoons like "Hallelujah of the Constitution" depicted public sentiment surrounding these transformative times. Manuel Cortina's colorful engraving captures not only historical events but also emotions running high during this period—passionately illustrating people's commitment to their cause. Francisco de Borja Queipo de Llano Toreno played a vital role as a prominent statesman during these turbulent years when his leadership was crucial for navigating through uncertain waters. Commemorative cards celebrating milestones such as the Spanish constitution serve as reminders that even amidst strife and conflict; there were moments worth cherishing—the triumphs achieved along this arduous journey towards progress and democracy. The Triennium may have been marked by division and struggle; however, it laid down foundations upon which modern-day Spain stands tall today—an enduring testament to the resilience and determination of its people.
