Answer
The death of Ferdinand VII sparked a succession crisis in Spain, as he left no direct heirs and had repealed the Salic Law that previously excluded women from the throne. This led to the Carlist Wars, a series of civil wars between supporters of Ferdinand's brother, Carlos, who claimed the throne, and those of his daughter, Isabel, who had been proclaimed queen by the Cortes.
