Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Spanish Civil War began with a military coup in 1936. It was the result of the extremely uneven levels of development that existed in Spain by the 1930s. The war was fought between the elements that clashed in the pre-war domestic environment: urban culture and cosmopolitan lifestyles versus rural tradition, secular versus religious, authoritarianism versus liberal political cultures, and so on.
#2 The loss of Spain’s empire in 1898 deprived the country of its protected external markets, which kick-started an intermittent and acrimonious debate over how Spain should modernize itself economically. The arguments in favor of domestic reform made by Spain’s more progressive industrial elites made little headway.
#3 Spain was the country that was the least affected by the demands of the war. Rural and provincial Spain was serviced by the populations of agrarian or market towns, which were inhabited by a conservative middle class. The Church hierarchy clung to monarchy not least to stave off the consequences of liberalizing politics and culture.
#4 In urban Spain, the First World War was the catalyst for social change. The war produced a economic boom, but it also produced severe forms of inflation and dislocation that greatly affected poorer segments of society.

The Spanish Civil War began with a military coup in 1936. It was the result of the extremely uneven levels of development that existed in Spain by the 1930s. The war was fought between the elements that clashed in the pre-war domestic environment: urban culture and cosmopolitan lifestyles versus rural tradition, secular versus religious, authoritarianism versus liberal political cultures, and so on.

#2

The loss of Spain’s empire in 1898 deprived the country of its protected external markets, which kick-started an intermittent and acrimonious debate over how Spain should modernize itself economically. The arguments in favor of domestic reform made by Spain’s more progressive industrial elites made little headway.

Spain was the country that was the least affected by the demands of the war. Rural and provincial Spain was serviced by the populations of agrarian or market towns, which were inhabited by a conservative middle class. The Church hierarchy clung to monarchy not least to stave off the consequences of liberalizing politics and culture.

In urban Spain, the First World War was the catalyst for social change. The war produced a economic boom, but it also produced severe forms of inflation and dislocation that greatly affected poorer segments of society.

#5

The Spanish monarchy was overthrown in 1931, and the new Republic was determined to implement a reformist agenda. The first Republican administration was determined to give the new regime a content of reforming policy that would effect a fundamental redistribution of social and economic power in Spain.

#6

The Republic’s reforms were extremely ambitious. They were trying to change the entire country in just a few years, but they were also trying to do so while dealing with the economic problems that came with the Great Depression.

#7

The Spanish military had become an increasingly self-enclosed caste. The teaching staff at the military academy in Zaragoza was dominated by colonial officers, and they were hostile to the idea of civilian control over the army.

#8

The Spanish Republic’s secularizing reforms upset deeply Catholic sensibilities in the center-north conservative heartland. This was a world of private and family devotions, but also of communal piety.

#9

The Spanish Civil War was the result of a conservative mobilization that was supported by the Catholic Church. The Republican reformers had attempted to debar the religious orders from teaching, but in practice, as a result of both subterfuge and legal delays, the attempted debarment failed.

#10

The Spanish Right, which was host
