Spanish Revolution of 1854

Episode of the 1854 Revolution in the Puerta del Sol, by Eugenio Lucas Velázquez.

The Spanish Revolution of 1854, also known by the name Vicalvarada, started with a confrontation between rebel troops under General Leopoldo O'Donnell, 1st Duke of Tetuan and government troops near the village of Vicálvaro.

This incident was followed by a military coup and a popular uprising, which occurred between 28 June and 28 July 1854, during the reign of Isabella II of Spain.

The Spanish Revolution ended the moderate decade (década moderada) (1844-1854) and started the progressive biennium (bienio progresista) (1854-1856).
