Questions

  1. Now that you have learned the definition of a primary source, summarize what is a primary and a secondary source.( 5-6 lines)(1 point)
    Primary sources are contemporary accounts of an event written or painted by someone who experienced or witnessed the event in question. Primary sources are actual records that have survived from the past, such as pictures (by Goya), biographies, articles, correspondence, laws or direct quotes from people living in the past

  2. What kind of source is it? (Textual, iconographical, statistical, cartographical; public/private;...)(see glossary)

  3. When was it created? What was happening during this time period?  ( 5-6 lines) (2 points)
    It was signed by napoleon, so it means that it is reliable.
  4. Who proclaimed Joseph Bonaparte King of Spain, why and what happened with the Borbon monarchy at Bayonne? (6-7 lines) (3 points)
    Joseph was  Napoleon Bonaparte brother and  when Napoelon invaded Spain and Portugal..
    The brutal incursion—which included mass executions of Spanish citizens who rose up in opposition to Napoleon's invasion—culminated in French occupation and the installation of Napoleon's brother, Joseph Bonaparte, on the Spanish throne.     .
    Both kings of Spain were forced to abdicate in favour of Napoleon's choice for the Spanish throne. He selected his brother Joseph, who at present was king of Naples (a dignity now to be transferred to Murat). This is politics at its most cynical. But just a few days earlier a much more significant event occurred in Madrid: The third of May.

  5. Why is it said that the Independence war against the French was, a war against the French invasion, and also a civil war as well?? (6-8 lines) (2 points)
    The war against Napoleon (1808-1814) also contained elements of a civil war between the absolutist supporters of the restored monarchy, Ferdinand VII, and the Liberals who had given the country its first Constitution, de Cádiz or the Constitution of 1812.
    This conflict included the Carlist War
