Summary	This course examines Spanish history from the restoration of the monarchy in 1875 to the establishment of the Primo de Rivera military dictatorship in September 1923. While this is a period of liberal constitutional government, it is dominated by the 'Disaster' of 1898, when Spain lost the remnants of her Empire. The course will assess the performance of the Spanish economy, the domestic impact of 1898 and examine the changing role of the Catholic Church and the military in Spanish politics and society. It will also discuss populist politics and the growth of mass Socialist and Anarchist trade union movements as well as the emergence of Catalan and Basque nationalism.
