Third Carlist War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The third Carlist War (1872-1876) was the last Carlist War which took place in Spain from 1872 to 1876. During this conflict, the carlist forces managed to occupy some cities in the interior of Spain, the most important ones were La Seu d'Urgell and Estella in Navarre. Isabel II was in exile and King Amadeo I of Spain (crowned 1871) was not very popular. The Carlist pretender, "Carlos VII", grandson of "Carlos V", proclaimed the restoration of Catalonian, Valencian, and Aragonese fueros which Philip V had previously abolished.
The promise was never fulfilled as the Carlist forces did not succeed. And, after four years of war, the Carlist pretender had to cross the border to France, on 27 February 1876, the same day that Alfonso XII of Spain entered in Pamplona.
