The late 18th century was marked by turmoil for Catalunya, as the region faced occupation by French forces during the war between Spain and revolutionary France. Following a peace treaty in 1795, Spain's alliance with France against England led to economic hardships, including blockades that devastated Catalan commerce. Rising unemployment and social unrest sparked protests, with many Catalans expressing anger towards the French and some advocating for military action against them, highlighting the struggle for regional identity and autonomy.
