Separation Of Church And State Civil War
1,111 words
The newly established republic in the years before
the war was a system where a so called old spain
lost its power to new spain. The Civil War was an
effect of the unwillingness of old Spain to recede
from the political scene. A main cause of the
Civil War, then, was not (as it usually is) an
emergence of a new social and economic class but
the unwillingness of the traditional aristocracy,
land owners, old army and the church to allow such
modern political ideals to run the government.

Spanish Civil War World War Ii
1,612 words
The regime of General Franco considered its
greatest political achievement to be the
establishment of an era of peace and order without
precedent in the history of Spain. Opposition to
Franco was ineffective for so long due to a wide
variety of factors, the Franco regime itself was
very oppressive yet it cannot solely explain the
lack of opposition as it did not prevent strikes,
student demonstrations and the activities of ETA
in the 1960 s. There was tacit acceptance by the
large sections of th...

Jewish Life In Spain 8 / 5. 4 I would like to

traditions, the first Jews in Spain seem to have
arrived in one of King Solomon's fleets, which,
together with Hiram's Phoenicians, did business
with Tarsus; these same boats of Tarsus which the

587 B. C. E. , and...

In what ways did the institutional legacy of the
Franco regime shape Spain's transition to
democracy? In less than two decades Spain has
rushed from dictatorship to democracy and from
virtual world isolation to membership in the
European Union. The actual transition (1973 -
1982) took place from the assassination of Carrero
Blanco, heir to the regime, to the 1982 democratic
elections (3 rd after Franco's death) when the
Socialists won by a wide margin. The transition
may have been relatively pea...
