In September 1868, parts of the Spanish Army and Navy, angry with Queen Isabel II's treatment of them and the people, and eager to bring democracy to Spain (in effect, transforming them into a Westminster-style democracy), decided to rise up in rebellion against her, an event known, in RealLife and here, as the [[TitleDrop Glorious]] Revolution (not to be confused with the English [[NamesTheSame Glorious Revolution]] of 1688). Isabel was toppled, and soon the plotters found themselves with the problem of rebuilding a nation and, over all, ensuring its stability. The decision (not unanimous) was to invite a foreign prince to become the new King of Spain.

In RealLife, Amadeo di Savoia, second son of Italian king Vittorio Emanuele II, became the chosen king in 1870. He would end up leaving in 1873, fed up with the inability of the Spaniards to self-govern themselves. After a brief Spanish Republic, the Borbons returned in the person of Alfonso XII, Isabel's eldest son.
But the original first choice had been another: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold,_Prince_of_Hohenzollern Leopold zu Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen]], a relative of the [[UsefulNotes/{{Prussia}} Prussian]] ruling house, the Hohenzollern. In RealLife, he was considered for the throne, but a combination of bad luck and a slip up by a Spanish politician meant the French learned about him, and managed to force him to reject the offer. This would also spark the chain of events that would lead to the UsefulNotes/FrancoPrussianWar.
