  1. The Spanish Civil War THE CAUSES

  2. AIM – To clarify the long-term struggle between the forces of modernisation and conservatism. The long-term causes

  3. ALL – of you should have an idea of the main argument concerning the contribution of the years 1820 – 1931 to the conflict of the Spanish Civil War MOST – of you should see that the reasons there was a struggle between modernisation and conservatism can be divided up into categories to be analyses. SOME – of you will be able to find evidence to fit into categories and support arguments.

  4. Looking at the timeline on page 226….. We see that the army was heavily involved in politics in 1820…. POINTS FROM IB PEARSON TEXTBOOK

  5. ….. They overthrow the absolute monarchy

  6. …and replace it with a constitutional one….like this lady’s

  7. So, recap…. 1820. Army + Absolute Monarchy = MODERNISING REVOLUTION + Constitutional Monarchy. 1820

  8. …… but immediately we have French forces restoring absolute monarchy to Spain in a effort to reinstate the OLD order.

  9. So we’re back to square one again after 13 years of bad luck for King Ferdinand. Then he dies. 1833

  10. And no-one’s quite sure what to make of the ‘rule of the Queens’. Basically the army’s influence increases. They supported liberals before trying to oust an absolute King but now they’d rather keep peace and absolute Queens than have the conservative factions have their way…. But no-one was happy withpainting the palace pink. 1833 - 69

  11. So eventually the Anarchists have their way! And ….. 1869 - 70

  12. THE FIRST REPUBLIC IS ESTABLISHED!!! 1870 - 71

  13. The Army Restores a Constitutional Monarchy……. 1871

  14. ISSUES, ISSUES, ISSUES In these 50+ years we have a corrupt Constitutional Monarchy. It’s not really ‘modern’. Real power stays with the oligarchs. WW1, THE Economy falters and 12 (not quite as unlucky as Ferdinand) governments fail to solve the country’s problems. In 1921 there’s a new low – the army, sent to crush a revolt in Morocco is MASACCRED. 1871 - 23

  15. General Primo de Rivera is the unlucky number 13!!! The Bloodless coup! 1923 - 30

  16. TASKS • Turn to page 227 in the IB textbook photocopy you were given. Answer the 3 questions at the top of the page. For question 2 under the ‘factors’ as sub-headings write evidence taken from the time-line to show existence of the problem under discussion. • Read ‘The Role of the Army’ and ‘The Role of the Church’. Summarise what you read here in no more than two sentences. • Read Economic Causes and write ten questions to pass to your neighbour to try. HOMEWORK • Read page 229 and prepare for a quiz on it.

  17. POINTS FROM SALVADO’S ESSAY NATURE - An essentially Spanish war between opposing views of the country’s future. LONG-TERM CAUSE – Inability of the previous regime to ease transition to modern democracy. WW1 brought about the mobilisation of the masses and the end of the politics of notables. Best bits so far 2.....

  18. Widespread social distress and economic dislocation, the inability of an oligarchical system to reform itself and the enthusiasm generated by the Revolution in Russia meant that Spain was caught in the spiral of popular turmoil that swept the continent. If you haven’t already highlighted this – do 

  19. So into this crisis state arises an Authoritarian leader – Primio de Rivera. He failed to create a viable political formula and his dictatorship crumbled bringing the monarchy down with it...... So what comes next.....

  20. DEMOCRACY!!!! Agh, right place, wrong time! Democracy (and the Second Republic) arrived in Spain at a time when the political trend in Europe was towards dictatorship and fascism. They were a la mode baby! People love this guy for one....

  21. And! There was a pretty depressing economic depression! Yea for Democracy.

  22. Any other problems? For the reactionaries the reformists programme was the first step towards Bolshevism!

  23. And so the CEDA was formed. Not the Catering Equipment Distributors Association but the....??? But the Confederacion Espanola de DerechasAutonomas
