To all those who have a good grasp of 19th Century Spanish History, what happens if the young Isabella is overthrown by her uncle during the First Carlist War?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Carlist_War

Let's say the point of divergence is the survival of General Tomás de Zumalacárregui. With an extremely skilled commander by his side, Carlos de Borbón enters Madrid and claims the crown of Spain as Carlos V around 1836.

The questions I have:

Where would Isabella flee too? The Liberals were supported in their war by the British and the French, so would she and her mother go to either country?

What happens to the military officers who fought for the Liberals?

How supportive were the overseas territories/the navy of Carlos?

Is there any possibility of the Philippines/Cuba falling to a foreign power soon after a Carlist victory?

I take it that Isabella taking control of the Philippines and being hailed as the Empress of the East is a bit out of the question. :p

Any Spanish history buffs around?

Britain.

They can swear new oaths or being kicked out of the service, if they're lucky. If not they're tried and jailed, most likely to be pardoned within a few years. Most facing such prospects will rather go into exile.

No more or less so than they were of Isabella.

No.

Hm well I think it depends here. Capturing Madrid doesn't by any means assure a Carlist victory, just like control of Lisbon didn't ensure Miguel I's success. Realistically the Queen Regent and her daughters will flee, probably to Britain and hopefully gain British support. Really a lot depends on whether or not the Great Powers accept Carlist rule in Spain. But if not then maybe there could be a marriage between Isabella II and OTL's the Count of Montemolin. Such a match between the Isabellain and Carlist lines was suggested several times in OTL so its not without precedence.
