Abstract

This essay examines the fi nal years of the Liberal Monarchy in Spain and the reasons for its crisis, agony and demise. It explores an era of revolution and reaction that started in the years 1916-17. This was a period during which in the face of unprecedented mass social protest and political mobilisation, Spain’s governing elites were unable to retain their leadership of political society and were fi nally toppled by a military coup in 1923. The central focus of this study is on the increasingly violent
social confl ict and political turmoil that gathered momentum after the First World War and whose fi nal outcome would be the civil war a generation later.
