La República Española

La República Española was the official government of Spain from 1931 to 1939, established after the abdication of King Alfonso XIII. It was a democratic republic that aimed to modernize Spain through political, social, and economic reforms, including secularization, land redistribution, and increased regional autonomy. The period was marked by political polarization, social upheaval, and conflicts between conservatives and progressives. The republic ultimately ended with the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), leading to the rise of Francisco Franco’s dictatorship. This era played a crucial role in shaping modern Spanish society, politics, and identity.
