jan 28, 1930 - Resignation of Miguel Primo de Rivera
Description:
In 1930, Primo de Rivera was forced to resign. King Alfonso XIII called for democratic elections, ushering in the Second Republic--the First Republic, formed in 1873, lasted only a year--and five years of social unrest, during which the political right and left vied for control. Elections held in April 1931 went overwhelmingly to the republican parties, forcing King Alfonso to abdicate the throne and flee the country.
