This is a video made by sixth graders for sixth graders about Isabel II monarchy. I hope it will help you study! EL REINADO DE ISABEL II

In this one, you can watch a video about "La Primera Guerra Carlista" 

And this one shows how the 1st Republic began: La Primera República

Some artworks by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes: Goya's Paintings

A comment on "Carlos IV's family"  and my favourite paintings "Goya's black paintings"

And while of these was happening in Spain, in England we had the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. Children had to work in factories. Can you believe it? No? Watch this: Child labour during the Industrial Revolution. 

Mr. Charles Dickens wrote about work conditions for children in factories. There are many films and books you can watch or read to find out. Here, you've got a trailer from Oliver Twist.
