España Con Honra. Una Historia Del Siglo Xix Español, 1793 1923 by Daniel Aquillué

Una Historia Del Siglo Xix Español, 1793 1923

A panoramic study of Spain between the late eighteenth century and 1923 that traces how political crises, wars, social change and cultural debates shaped the making of modern Spain; the book follows the impact of the French Revolution and the Peninsular War, the Carlist conflicts, the oscillation between liberalism and conservatism, the loss of empire in 1898 and the growth of mass politics and economic modernization, arguing that competing notions of honor and prestige—among elites, institutions and popular culture—helped define national identity, legitimize or undermine regimes, and frame responses to the profound challenges of modernization.
