On December 6th, Spain celebrates the Spanish Constitution, which was approved in 1978 after the dictatorship. But did you know, this is not Spain's first ever Constitution? A Spanish Constitution was first written and promulgated in 1808 when Napoleon invaded Spain and placed his brother Joseph Bonapart on the Spanish throne. This is just one of the impacts Napoleon Bonaparte had outside of his home country of France. During his short-lived rule, the French General revolutionized military organization and training, reorganized education and sponsored the Napoleonic Code, a prototype of later civil-law codes. His reforms left a lasting mark on France and a lot of Western Europe, and beyond...
