The long road to modernisation: Spain since 1808

PART II, PAPER 23. THE LONG ROAD TO MODERNISATION: SPAIN SINCE 1808 Dr. Natalia Mora-‐Sitja ([email protected]) Pablo Picasso, Gernika Course description This course will analyse the main political developments and social, economic and cultural changes experienced in Spain during since the start of the Peninsular War to the present, with emphasis on the 20th century, the causes and development of the Civil War and the profound consequences of Franco’s dictatorship. What were the challenges Spain faced in the long nineteenth century? How did it experience the fall of the Old Regime? What was the impact of the loss of the American colonies, whereby Spain went from Empire to *second-‐rate European power? Why did anarchism gain such appeal in Spain? These are some of the questions we will explore, alongside the analysis of the origins and development of the Spanish Civil War, the political and ideological bases of Franco’s regime, and the transition to democracy, which is considered by many as an exceptionally successful process. The course will close with a reflection on the politics of memory in contemporary Spain. 1
