The ominous as something shameful
The notion of ominous is usually used to name something that is shameful . If the president of a club mentions that the attack that his soccer team's supporters inflicted on a player from a rival team was an “ominous situation,” he will be reflecting that said event causes him shame as the head of the institution. Likewise, it will make it clear that the club's policies do not coincide or share such behavior under any circumstances. In this way, he will have pronounced his repudiation and marked the limits of thought of the club he represents.
In a similar sense, a mother can point out to her child that she experienced an “ominous moment” when the principal of her school called her to tell her that the child had started fighting violently with a classmate. Possibly, you will take the opportunity to remind your child of all the times you stressed the importance of resolving conflicts through dialogue .
In contrast to this concept, something is said to be attractive when it offers the person who experiences it a feeling of pride or pleasure. A good note from a child to a parent can generate a feeling completely opposite to frustration or embarrassment .
Something ominous like war or terrorism is abhorrent.
A period of Spanish history
In Spain , the period 1823-1833 is known as the Ominous Decade , which covers the end of the reign of Ferdinand VII , when harsh repression was unleashed on opponents. In 1833 , with his death, the civil war that remained in history as the First Carlist War began, driven by the followers of Carlos María Isidro de Borbón .
In this period, a clear strategy of the monarchy was developed to pursue liberalism in the country, marked by great repression characterized by the systematic persecution of all liberals and the use of torture methods that served as threats to all those who wished to rebel. and embrace liberal ideas.
At that time, the crisis of absolutism was taking place in Europe : various peoples were beginning to rebel against the untouchable authority of the monarchs and many countries were witnessing strong revolts. To prevent absolutism from collapsing, the monarchs of various countries met to join forces. And France came to the aid of Ferdinand VII . However, the rebellion had reached a strength never before witnessed and the end of that crisis was a war promoted by the liberals known as the First Carlist War. A contest that would mark an opening in the history of monarchy in Europe and that would give rise to future rebellions against monarchical regimes .
Within this revolt, Fernando VII was kidnapped and held in Cádiz , where he was not released until he signed a commitment on his part regarding liberal ideas. Thus they returned power to him but he had to accept and respect liberal laws. The end of that war was the restitution to power of Fernando VII , who once again established an absolutist government although complying with his treaty with the liberal group. Thus ended the Ominous Decade , with the return of peace and calm.
