May 2, 1808
Spanish War of Independence
"...The second day of May, people in Madrid celebrate their rising up in rebellion against French occupation on, 1808; that time, it took Marechal Murat many hours and several full-scale charges from the Guard and mameluk cavalry to crush the revolt, with the loss of some 150 French soldiers slain. The next day, immortalized by Goya as The Third of May 1808, the French army shot 5,000 Madrid citizens in retaliation. :(
Reprisals of this kind were repeated in other cities and continued for days, with no effect but to strengthen the resistance; soon afterwards, all of Spain exploded in a bloody guerilla, declaring war on Napoleon at the height of his greatness. Within weeks, every Spanish province had done the same. Napoleon, unwillingly, had provoked a total war against the Spaniards, a mistake from which the French Empire would never truly recover..."

Hey there, stud. Got anything else standing triumphantly? ;D
What? No one was saying anything like "MURR HOT", I had to do something! oDo
x3 Lovely color work as always, Skifi. Leks Bronks did a very nice take of your fursona as well. A bit of history is good too!
BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON VACATION
