Trienio Liberal (1820–1823): Reforms & Conflict

On 1 January 1820, Rafael del Riego, leading a company of soldiers, revolted in Andalucía and proclaimed the Constitution of 1812. The passivity of the army, the action of liberals in major cities, and the neutrality of the peasants forced Ferdinand VII to accept the Constitution. He immediately formed a new government, proclaimed an amnesty and called elections to the Cortes.

Electoral Outcome and Legislative Program

The election results returned the more liberal deputies, who began to draft and enact a program of reforms. Key policies and measures included:

• Restoration of freedom of industry and measures to liberalize economic activity.

The Basque Language: Euskera

The Basque language, known natively as Euskera, is an ancient tongue with origins dating back 3,000 to 5,000 years. Its classification remains an enigma, as linguists have been unable to establish a definitive relationship with any major language family.

Linguistic Origins

Euskera is recognized as the only surviving pre-Indo-European language in Western Europe. While various studies have attempted to link it to Caucasian languages in Turkey and Russia, or Hamitic languages such as Berber, Coptic, or Sudanese, its true affiliation remains a mystery.

Geographic Distribution

Euskera is a co-official language alongside Spanish in the Basque Autonomous Community and parts of Navarre. Currently, approximately one million people...
