The First Spanish Republic (1 ene 1873 año – 1 ene 1874 año)
Descripción:
There were four presidents during the republic. It faced many problems:
- The Cantonal Revolution: Cantonalism was a radical interpretation of federalism. It transformed Spain into a federal repubic made up of cantons (separate states). Independent states were formed in Valencia, Cartagena and other regions.
- Third Carlist War: between 1872 and 1876, there was a new Carlist uprising.
- Cuba: between 1868 and 1878 Cuban rebels started to fight the first of three wars against the Spanish rule.
All these events created a situation of political inestability. There were two pronunciamientos in 1874. One, when the Parliament was dissolved, and the other one, when the General Martínez Campos restored the Bourbon Dynasty.
