ABSTRACT The Revolt of "the Ever-faithful Isle": The Ten Years' War in Cuba, 1868-1878 by Vanessa Michelle Ziegler The Ten Years' War (1868-1878) was Cuba's first intensive struggle for independence from Spain. This insurrection, however, has been treated frequently in Cuban historiography as a less significant precursor to the more studied War of Independence (1895-1898). The collapse of the Ten Years' War is intricately linked to the outcome of the War of Independence, which makes the Ten Years' War an important subject for study and research. The disastrous political, social, and racial conflicts of the first independence war offered sobering lessons to the Cuban insurgents, which they failed to fully understand in the final struggle. Thus, a more thorough analysis of the Ten Years' War will better explain the ambiguous results of the 1895 war. In this dissertation, I argue that a multi-class and multi-racial coalition of men and women mobilized against the Spanish regime in response to political repression and economic crisis in Cuba. The Cuban separatist movement succeeded in enacting a republican constitution, establishing a national government with state and local administrations, in holding elections, and in operating an economy based on limited resources. Civil-military disputes, conflicts based on racial fears and annexation to the United States, a divided expatriate community, and U.S. opposition to the Cuban VI Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

At the same time, political upheaval in Spain, conflicts between Spanish captain generals and conservatives in Cuba, and dilemmas confronting the Spanish Army on the island prevented a swift conclusion of the colonial armed struggle. This dissertation is based on extensive archival research, and published primary and secondary source analysis. Most of the research for this dissertation was undertaken in various archives and libraries of Madrid, Spain. Additionally, in the United States, I studied microfilm from the U.S. National Archives and the Library of Congress, and conducted research in the Department of Special and Area Studies Collections at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

Acknowledgments I wish to acknowledge a number of people who have offered me valuable assistance in the researching and writing stages of my dissertation. First, I offer my deep gratitude to my doctoral advisor, Dr. Francis A. Dutra, for making my graduate studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara a rewarding experience. I feel privileged to have taken his courses, which have shaped my understanding of Latin American History. In addition to Dr. Dutra, I thank Dr. Sarah Cline and Dr. John Foran, also members of my dissertation committee, for their incisive critiques on drafts of my dissertation, which helped to improve it. Finally and most importantly, I reserve my deepest gratitude for my family­ my parents Victor and Lida Ziegler, my husband Yuriy Malikov, and my brother Alexander Ziegler. Their support and encouragement afforded the completion of this project. It is to my family that I dedicate my dissertation. IX Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

  • 'Neither God Nor Monster': Antonio Maura and the Failure of Conservative Reformism in Restoration Spain (1893–1923)
    María Jesús González ‘Neither God Nor Monster’: Antonio Maura and the Failure of Conservative Reformism in Restoration Spain (1893–1923) ‘Would you please tell me which way I ought to go from here?’, said Alice. ‘That depends on where you want to get to’, said the cat. (Alice in Wonderland, London, The Nonesuch Press, 1939, p. 64) During the summer of 1903, a Spanish republican deputy and journalist, Luis Morote, visited the summer watering-holes of a number of eminent Spanish politicians. Of the resulting inter- views — published as El pulso de España1 — two have assumed a symbolic value of special significance. When Morote interviewed the Conservative politician Eduardo Dato, Dato was on the terrace of a luxury hotel in San Sebastián, talking with his friends, the cream of the aristocracy. It was in that idyllic place that Dato declared his great interest in social reforms as the best way to avoid any threat to the stability of the political system. He was convinced that nobody would find the necessary support for political revolution in Spain. The real danger lay in social revolution.2 Morote wrote that Antonio Maura, who was at his Santander residence, went into a sort of ‘mystic monologue’, talking enthu- siastically about democracy, the treasure of national energy that was hidden in the people, the absence of middle classes and the mission of politicians: that the people should participate, and that every field in politics should be worked at and dignified.3 Two Conservative politicians, two different approaches, two different paths towards an uncertain destination: one of them patching up holes in the system and the liberal parliamentary monarchic regime in its most pressing social requirements, the European History Quarterly Copyright © 2002 SAGE Publications, London, Thousand Oaks, CA and New Delhi, Vol.

  • El Sistema Político De La Restauración (PARTE II)
    El sistema político de la Restauración (PARTE II) 1. Los grupos opositores al sistema de la Restauración Las alternativas políticas al régimen de la Restauración fueron básicamente dos: la primera defendía el retorno al absolutismo tradicionalista y era promovida por los carlistas ultraderechistas; la segunda proponía el radicalismo democrático y era animada por los republicanos. Además de estas dos fuerzas, aparecieron y se desarrollaron nuevos movimientos políticos nacionalistas en Cataluña y el País Vasco que también actuaron en oposición al sistema canovista. Todos estos grupos opositores –cuyas actividades resultaron en general poco efectivas– se beneficiaron de la amplísima libertad de prensa para exponer en las páginas de sus periódicos todo tipo de ideas y fobias políticas –anticlericales, antimilitaristas, antiliberales, antidemócratas, antiborbónicas, antimonárquicas, antiespañolas o separatistas– sin apenas restricciones. 1.1. Los republicanos Durante el último cuarto del siglo XIX, los republicanos permanecieron desunidos y muy divididos en diferentes y minúsculas tendencias por discrepancias doctrinales (los partidarios del federalismo contra los unitarios y los filoliberales contra los republicanos prosocialistas), por disputas estratégicas (entre los reformistas legalistas y los revolucionarios radicales partidarios de la utilización de métodos violentos como las insurrecciones armadas o los golpes militares) y también por durísimas rivalidades personales entre sus líderes (Pi y Margall, Figueras y Castelar ni siquiera

  • Casanova, Julían, the Spanish Republic and Civil
    This page intentionally left blank The Spanish Republic and Civil War The Spanish Civil War has gone down in history for the horrific violence that it generated. The climate of euphoria and hope that greeted the over- throw of the Spanish monarchy was utterly transformed just five years later by a cruel and destructive civil war. Here, Julián Casanova, one of Spain’s leading historians, offers a magisterial new account of this crit- ical period in Spanish history. He exposes the ways in which the Republic brought into the open simmering tensions between Catholics and hard- line anticlericalists, bosses and workers, Church and State, order and revolution. In 1936, these conflicts tipped over into the sacas, paseos and mass killings that are still passionately debated today. The book also explores the decisive role of the international instability of the 1930s in the duration and outcome of the conflict. Franco’s victory was in the end a victory for Hitler and Mussolini, and for dictatorship over democracy. julián casanova is Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. He is one of the leading experts on the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War and has published widely in Spanish and in English.

  • ¿Acabó La Semana Trágica Con Maura? Algunas Claves Políticas (1906-1909)
    ¿ACABÓ LA SEMANA TRÁGICA CON MAURA? 1 ¿ACABÓ LA SEMANA TRÁGICA CON MAURA? ALGUNAS CLAVES POLÍTICAS (1906-1909) CRISTÓBAL ROBLES MUÑOZ ¿Fue la Semana Trágica el desencadenante de la crisis política de octubre de 1909? No. Sirva esta escueta respuesta de introducción y conclusión. Los hechos y las razones que siguen lo explican. Al cabo de cien años debería tasarse el valor y el impacto de unas jornadas que ha- brían pasado sin más, salvo por una tragedia, fruto de un error políti- co, y por la repetición, en el mismo escenario, de lo que en el progra- ma que nos reúne se va a recordar: Barcelona volvió a ser la «ciutat cremada» el mismo mes y por las mismas fechas 25 años después. Fue una tragedia que la ejecución de Ferrer diera beneficios polí- ticos a Segismundo Moret, el único jefe del partido liberal que, some- tido a las presiones, aceptó aprobar la «Ley de Jurisdicciones». Maura se opuso a ella y la aplicó por lealtad al otro partido dinástico. Fue una tragedia que un tribunal legal condenara a muerte a una persona, contra el criterio de Maura: «el pensamiento no delinque». Fue un error político que Maura no indultara al condenado. Fue una desgra- cia que la proposición del Vaticano llegara tarde, cuando la sentencia ya se había ejecutado. Sobre la repetición a mayor escala y durante más tiempo, silencio. Hay acontecimientos que la gente tiene derecho a esperar que no se repitan. Por eso tiene el deber de olvidarlos. Factores internos, sustentados en el sistema de la Restauración, 75 2 CRISTÓBAL ROBLES MUÑOZ fueron modificados con el nuevo reinado.
