Key Context 🌟
- Time Period: November 1933 – February 1936
- Spain is swinging politically, with the nation's political landscape reflecting broader European tensions.
What's Going On? ✨
- Nazism's Influence
- The Spanish right looked up to Nazism for its stress on authority, fatherland, and hierarchy.
- El Debate, a CEDA paper, liked how Hitler got power legally. They wanted something similar in Spain.
- Real-world example: It's like admiring a popular kid in school and wanting to imitate their style or behavior to gain similar popularity.
- 1933 Elections
- The Republic shifts to the right.
- Left is disunited, while the right-wing and centrist parties gain power.
- CEDA's the big party, but the president's like "Nah, Gil Robles, you can't lead."
- Instead, Alejandro Lerroux (a Radical) becomes prime minister.
- Gil Robles becomes war minister after some political drama.
- Real-world example: Think of it as a school election where the most popular student doesn't get the top post but still ends up in a significant role.
- ‘Biennio negro’
- This means 'two black years' because the new government undid the Left's work.
- Church gets power in education, clergy paid by state, less money on public education, and land program stopped. Bad news for peasants.
- Real-world example: Imagine if your school suddenly undid all the positive changes like student freedom, club budgets, etc., leading to student protests.
- Uprisings & Rebellions
- Anarchists rise in Barcelona; Catalonia tries to be independent; Asturian miners rebel.
- Government is like "Nope!" and suppresses them. Violence everywhere.
- Historians think the Asturian event made a civil war more likely.
- Real-world example: It's like multiple school groups revolting against new school rules, leading to more tensions and stricter rules.
- Political Climate
- Fascist Falange Party forms.
- CEDA loses to the radical youth.
- Everyone's arguing, with Caballero suggesting that Spain needs a Soviet solution.
- Meanwhile, Gil Robles wants stricter control over communists.
- The left groups try to unite against the right.
- Real-world example: Imagine different school cliques trying to dominate the school culture, with some looking to join forces.
- Political Crisis
- Gil Robles wants to lead after the Radicals mess up.
- But President Alcalá-Zamora's suspicious, so he fortifies key places.
- Gil Robles thinks of a coup but decides against it.
- CEDA's election campaign becomes intense, treating it as a big showdown.
- Real-world example: Think of a school's sports captain being side-lined and thinking of forming his own team, but realizing they aren’t strong enough yet.
