Description
Modern Spain, 1875-1980 by Raymond Carr The liberal tradition in Spain originated with a group of radical patriots who drew up a constitution in Cadiz after being forced to flee the French invasion of 1808. This influential document enshrined the sovereignty of the people and became a model for advanced democrats across Europe. The imposition of liberal institutions on a conservative society led to tensions, which Carr argues had far-reaching consequences for modern Spanish history. Carr's analysis spans over a century, from the 'September Revolution' of 1868 to the present day. He incorporates new research into his study, examining the complex social and economic issues that shaped Spain during this period. The country's regional problems remain pressing concerns, despite relative stability in the 1970s and 80s. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of modern Spanish history, exploring the tensions between liberal institutions and conservative society.
