Military dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera was overthrown in 1930 and monarchist parties lost the 1931 elections. General Francisco Franco staged a coup in July 1936, which was supported by the military and bourgeoisie.[1]
Civil War[edit | edit source]
See main article: Spanish Civil War
During the 1936–1939 civil war in Spain, Catalonia led the left-wing resistance against Franco.[2]
Franco dictatorship[edit | edit source]
From 1939 to 1975, Spain was a fascist regime called the Spanish State, which was ruled by Francisco Franco. The Catalan language was banned during this period. Similar to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco ruled his regime with a fascist dictatorship and the ideology of his dictatorship was called Falangism that combined Fascism with National Syndicalism, Monarchism, Spanish Ultranationalism and numerous other ideologies. [2]
Constitutional monarchy[edit | edit source]
After Franco's death in 1975, Spain became a constitutional monarchy led by Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez. Under Suárez, Spain attended a summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in Cuba in 1979. During this period, the Movement for the Self-Determination and Independence of the Canaries Archipelago (MPAIAC) carried out dozens of violent attacks in an attempt to gain independence for the Canary Islands. The U.S. government told Spain that they had to join NATO or the Canary Islands would secede from Spain. Less than 20% of Spaniards supported joining NATO, but it joined anyway in 1982 and the MPAIAC soon disappeared.[3]
