No full textThe Allied Occupation of Madrid in 1710: A Turning Point in the War of the Spanish Succession
No full textThe War of the Spanish Succession began in 1701, when most of Europe allied to block the accession of the French Bourbon Duke of Anjou to the throne of Spain as Felipe V. The ensuing war lasted until 1714, at enormous cost. Louis XIV of France provided early support to defend his grandson’s throne, but in 1709 he began to seek a separate peace with the anti-Bourbon coalition and to abandon Felipe V and Spanish interests in Europe and the Americas. He re-committed to the war in 1710.
Standard histories often argue that the turning point in the war came in 1711, when the Habsburg pretender to the Spanish throne, the Archduke Charles, also became the likely choice for Holy Roman Emperor. Faced with a revival of Habsburg hegemony, the ardor of the anti-Bourbon allies cooled, and the war wound down. Against that standard interpretation, I argue that the turning point came in 1710, centering on the allied occupation of Madrid. This paper explores the events before, during, and after that occupation, including the important role that the Portuguese played—or failed to play—in that historic chain of events

No full textPolitics, Violence and Electoral Democracy in Spain: the case of the CEDA, 1933-1934
No full textThis article examines the attitude of the main political party of the Spanish right between 1933 and 1936 – the CEDA – towards democracy and political violence. It analyzes the rhetoric and behavior of the party during a critical period, and one which has hitherto been largely neglected: from the campaign for the national elections of 1933 to the fall of the following year, when three of the party’s members joined the government. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the complexity and ambiguity of the accidentalist Catholic right’s discourse, applying a dynamic analysis which explores their discursive evolution without simplifying it. Moreover, in order to deepen our understanding of the CEDA’s role in and attitude towards political violence, this article includes a detailed study of both conservative political language and the behavior of the party’s members during the 1933 campaign. Finally, given its importance for this article’s central objective, an analysis also is put forward of the relationship between the anti-liberal corporatism of the CEDA and Fascism
