    Cronología de la Segunda República La Segunda República (1931-1936) 1930 Pacto de San Sebastián , acuerdo político celebrado el 17 de agosto de 1930 en San Sebastián para un acercamiento entre las fuerzas republicanas con el objetivo de acabar con el reinado de Alfonso XIII. En mayo ya se había concretado un acuerdo entre la Alianza Republicana (encabezada por Manuel Azaña) y el Partido Republicano Radical Socialista (liderado por Marcelino Domingo). Junto a estos partidos asistirían a título personal los socialistas Indalecio Prieto y Fernando de los Ríos, así como Felipe Sánchez Román y Eduardo Ortega y Gasset. El consenso se fraguó con el reconocimiento de las reivindicaciones autonómicas básicas de la izquierda catalana. La conformación de un frent e para la construcción de un régimen democrático estuvo, desde un principio, vinculada a cambios en la configuración territorial del Estado a partir de la cual se reconociese la singularidad y demandas de los nacionalismos y regionalismos periféricos. Todo s estuvieron de acuerdo en constituir un movimiento insurreccional antimonárquico que permitiese la instauración de la tan añorada república. Los planes de una insurrección se frustrarían ante la precipitación y escasa coordinación de las fuerzas antimonár quicas. La proclamación de la II República, lejos de las intenciones iniciales de sus defensores, acabaría siguiendo el camino de las urnas en las elecciones municipales del 12 de abril de 1931. 1931 El 10 de febrero de 1931, el periódico El Sol publica e l manifiesto fundacional de la Agrupación al Servicio de la República , movimiento político creado por José Ortega y Gasset, Gregorio Marañón y Ramón Pérez de Ayala.

  • Preston, Paul, the Coming of the Spanish Civil War: Reform, Reaction and Revolution in the Second
    THE COMING OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR The breakdown of democracy in Spain in the 1930s resulted in a torrent of political and military violence. In this thoroughly revised edition of his classic text, Paul Preston provides a deeply disturbing explanation of the democratic collapse, coherently and excitingly outlining the social and economic background. Spain was a backward agricultural country divided by the most brutal economic inequalities. The coming of the Second Republic in April 1931 was greeted by the Left as an opportunity to reform Spain’s antiquated social structure. Over the next two years, the Socialist members of a Republican—Socialist coalition pushed for reforms to alleviate the day-to- day misery of the great southern army of landless labourers. Paul Preston shows how the political activities of the Right, legal and conspiratorial, between 1931 and 1936, as well as the subsequent Nationalist war effort, were primarily a response to these reforming ambitions of the Left. His principal argument is that, although the Spanish Civil War encompassed many separate conflicts, the main cause of the breakdown of the Second Republic was the struggle between Socialists and the legalist Right to impose their respective views of social organisation on Spain by means of their control of the apparatus of state. The incompatible interests represented by these two mass parliamentary parties—those of the landless labourers and big landlords, of industrialists and workers—spilled over into social conflicts which could not be contained within the parliamentary arena. Since the first edition of this book was completed more than fifteen years ago, archives have been opened up, the diaries, letters and memoirs of major protagonists have been published, and there have been innumerable studies of the politics of the Republic, of parties, unions, elections and social conflict, both national and provincial.

Romero Salvadó Queen Mary and Westfield College 20 June 1994 (LN N) Uy Abstract of thesis The subject of this thesis is a study of Spain during the First World War. The Spanish case is analyzed as the regional version of the general crisis which engulfed the rest of Europe during these years. This crisis was produced by the ideological militancy and social struggle caused by four years of devastating international conflict. It heralded the arrival of mass politics which put an end to a previous era marked by hierarchical and clientelist politics. This thesis examines how the maintenance of strict neutrality did not save the existing regime in Spain from the impact of the conflict raging in Europe. Spain did not enter the war but the war entered the country and, ironically, a conflict in which Spain did not take part was to alter its contemporary history.

  • El Esperanto En Los Medios Periodísticos: Una Aproximación a La Historia Esperantista De España
    ÁMBITOS.

Se trata de un recorrido que comienza en 1898, desde la aparición de la primera crónica periodística a favor del esperanto realizada por Pi y Margall en El Nuevo Régimen, hasta el término de la Guerra civil en 1939. De esta forma, se detalla la llegada de la propuesta lingüística del polaco L.L Zamenhof al territorio español atendiendo a la emergencia de asociaciones que se ocuparon de la divulgación del idioma a través de sus publicaciones en cada periodo. El desarrollo del esperantismo acogerá el primer congreso universal en España durante el reinado de Alfonso XIII. Tras el duro golpe que supuso la Gran Guerra, de 1923 a 1931 tuvo lugar la dictadura de Primo de Rivera que dejó atrás un periodo dorado del movimiento obrero. Con la llegada de la Segunda República en 1931 tuvo lugar una etapa de florecimiento donde republicanos, masones, católicos y militares, impulsaron la propagación del idioma.

  • La Utilización Del Esperanto Durante La Guerra Civil Española
    Número 6/es LA UTILIZACIÓN DEL ESPERANTO DURANTE LA GUERRA CIVIL ESPAÑOLA José Antonio del Barrio Unquera (Fundación Esperanto, Madrid) Ulrich Lins (Servicio Alemán de Intercambio Académico, Bonn) Comunicación presentada en el Congreso sobre la Guerra Civil Española (Madrid, 27-29 de noviembre, 2006) En la presenta comunicación vamos a dar a conocer un elemento poco tratado en los estudios sobre la Guerra Civil Española publicados en castellano, a saber, el empleo durante la misma del idioma internacional esperanto. Consideramos que puede resultar interesante para los estudiosos por varios motivos. En primer lugar, se trata de un aspecto de la batalla propagandística desarrollada durante la contienda, interesante en sí misma en el contexto del tratamiento académico de la guerra civil. En segundo lugar, nos permitirá acercarnos a un movimiento social cuyas características son representativas del contexto ideológico anterior a la guerra, aunque con un trasfondo cultural que le da una personalidad propia. Finalmente, nos permitirá dar a conocer a los historiadores españoles una visión inicial sobre la historia del movimiento esperantista, un colectivo muy desconocido en el mundo académico, cuando no sometido a fuertes prejuicios, que en algunos casos se han transmitido a sus integrantes, y que sin embargo albergó a un grupo de personas influyentes de la vida política, social y cultural, que lo consideraron una opción importante en sus intereses. Hay que indicar a este respecto que la Guerra Civil causó una gravísima crisis al movimiento esperantista español, que había alcanzado un importante desarrollo en los años 30, y que desapareció prácticamente hasta finales de los años 40, y sólo pudo recuperarse con muchas dificultades, sin que volviera a alcanzar hasta la fecha la importante difusión que había tenido en aquella época.
