May Second, the Uprising
Yesterday was a public holiday in my region, Madrid. On May second, we celebrate the uprising of 1808 that took place in Madrid. It was a rebellion carried out by civilians along with some military against the occupation of the city by French troops. The uprising provoked a heavy-hand repression by the French Imperial forces. On the same day, in the nearby town of Mostoles, the arrival of the news of the repression prompted the mayor of the town and senior officials to sign a declaration of war calling all the Spaniards against the invaders. The uprising also led to a resistance across Spain to French rule. While the French invaders hoped that the rapid suppression of the uprising would demonstrate their control of Spain, the rebellion actually propelled considerably the resistance. In the following weeks, many other rebellions rose up in different parts of the country. To make a long story short, Spaniards were able to recover what had been theirs: their houses, their land, their country, their freedom, and above all, to get rid of the invaders, where they came from. Because that wasn’t the first time my country had been conquered and re-conquered again by the bravery of, at first, a few Spaniards who, over the time, became the whole population. However, some of our invaders built amazing structures and cities that are now part of our cultural heritage. Not only that, we have also learnt many useful things and even through our veins their blood runs. Evidently, I’m not speaking about the French but the Arabs who stayed in what later would be the Kingdom of Spain for five hundred years. My point is that although some conquers can provide good things, on the vast majority of occasions the only thing they do is to take away the freedom of those living in the invaded country and impose their will upon them.
