description: The Carlist Wars in Spain were the last major European civil wars in which pretenders fought to establish their claim to a throne. From 1833 to 1840 [first Carlist war], 1846 to 1849 [second Carlist War] and again from 1872 to 1876 [third Carlist War] supporters of the first Don Carlos and his grandson rallied to the slogan of 'God, Country and King' and set their faith in Spanish tradition (absolutism and Catholicism) against liberalism, and later the republicanism, of the Spanish governments of the day.
