Joseph Bonaparte became the king of Spain in 1808 after the abdication of King Charles IV and his son Ferdinand VII during the Peninsular War. Napoleon Bonaparte, seeking to strengthen French influence in Spain, installed Joseph, his elder brother, on the Spanish throne. This move was met with significant resistance from the Spanish populace, leading to widespread uprisings and conflict. Joseph's reign was marked by challenges as he struggled to gain legitimacy and support in a country that largely rejected his rule.
