When did Godoy’s unmatched power end?

  • 1799

  • 1806

  • 1809

  • 1808

Answer

Godoy's unparalleled power ended in 1808, coinciding with the tumultuous events of the Peninsular War. This conflict, ignited by Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Spain, led to widespread discontent and a popular uprising against the monarchy and Godoy's rule. The combination of military defeats, political intrigues, and public resentment culminated in Godoy's downfall and exile, marking a significant turning point in Spanish history.
