Alfonso XIII wasn't a consistent leader however, jumping between a Liberal and Conservative government which caused political instability. There were 33 governments formed in Spain between 1902-1923. Due to this, his popularity went down and there were many assassination attempts that followed. Primo de Rivera took away the throne and started a 7 year long reign as a dictator.
