History:
When Napoleon ended the war against Prussia and Russia, forced the Spaniards to ally with him against Portugal that was allied with England and traded and therefore ordered the French army led by his friend, General Junot occupied Lisbon but leaving garrisons in places that had nothing to do with the Portuguese like Barcelona or Madrid.
While in Spain a palace conspiracy had ended the reign of Charles IV and his strong man, Manuel Godoy, who was hated by most people. This helped to ascend to the throne Ferdinand VII with great popular support.
Aware of these intrigues Napoleon forced the contenders Fernando and Carlos (Godoy included) to meet with the French city of Bayonne where they both took the throne and gave it to his brother Joseph I called later by the Spanish "Pepe Botella".
Meanwhile in Madrid, the people realized that they were forcing the entire royal family in France and the rebellion broke against the garrison of French soldiers in the capital who were led by the famous and infamous Marshal Murat.
No fewer than 150 French soldiers, part of the famous includes Mamluks, were murdered by the people of Madrid, led by officers and Daoiz and Lt. Velarde Ruiz, but the French killed some 3,000 people between the fight and shot later.
Then, the Mayor of town of Mostoles, near of Madrid cries for help to all Spain to save Madrid and Independence of Spain. And all Spain joined and fought as one man...
