The Napoleonic Era and The French Revolution

Portugal was greatly affected during the Peninsular War, with the help of British troops. This war helped to not isolate them any longer. This war was very long.

Many of Spain's colonies got revolutionary ideas and decided to revolt. Also, when Napoleon appionted his brother as King of Spain, Spain became weaker because he was a bad ruler.

Napoleon again appointed a bad ruler, this time to Italy. Joseph was appointed to the position of King of Sicily and Naples.
