During the [[Communard Wars]] the majority of Spain was occupied by communard forces and during this time the royal family and king Ferdinand VII sought refuge in New Spain for the duration of the war. While the king was staying in Mexico he became interested in the internal affairs of the colony and instituted a series of reforms that sought to hispanize New Spain's culture to a further degree and weaken the power of the local Mexican elites in favor of giving greater power to the royal military and peninsulare business elites who were in the king's inner circle. This increased tension between Spanish authorities and New Spain's population across social classes.
