28 gen 1930 anni - The Prime Minister Retires

Descrizione:

The Spanish economy is reeling as a result of the global depression, and Alfonso forces Primo de Rivera’s resignation; the physically broken dictator dies less than two months later. The monarchy has become too closely associated with the excesses of the dictatorship, and Republican sentiment has grown too strong to tolerate Alfonso’s continued meddling in Spanish politics. An alliance of former liberal monarchists, Catalan politicians, and Republicans meets at San Sebastián on August 17, 1930, and agrees to overthrow the king.
