Historical Instability in Spain
- The 19th century was a bumpy ride
- Absolute monarchy 🤴
- Military interventions 💂
- Foreign political meddling 🌍
- First Republican regime 🗳️
- The Spain game: Flip-flop between conservative & liberal ideologies.
The Constitutional Monarchy, 1898
- On paper
- Spain = Constitutional monarchy 👑
- King + Parliament (the Cortes) = Main power duo.
- The king 🤴 selects a prime minister (PM) backed by a majority in the Cortes.
- Reality Check
- The rich and powerful call the shots, not the general male population. 💰💼
- Two "different" parties: Conservatives vs Liberals...but same old, same old.
- "Elections": More like rigged games, thanks to corruption. 🎭
- Caciquismo system: Local bigwigs (caciques) pulling the election strings.
Changing Winds after 1900 🌬️
- Socialist & republican organizations pop up in town centers. 🏙️
- Many Spaniards = 😑 "These main parties don't get us."
- King Alfonso XIII = Old school; No love for reform.
- Gave Catalonia some power in 1913, but Catalan Nationalists = "Not enough!" 😡
