La emigración política y la oposición violenta a la monarquía restaurada (1897-1931)

Abstract

This work examines the strategies of violent contention adopted by the various factions of the exiled Spanish anti-monarchical opposition during the first third of the twentieth century. In parallel, governmental responses to these threats are also analysed, with attention to their evolution from the first attempts at building international coalitions against anarchist terrorism in late nineteenth century, to the hardening of foreign defence policies during the Primo de Rivera dictatorship. Both the subversive activities of dissident groups and the intransigence of repressive political power contributed to the irreversible damage to the international image of the monarchy from the 1920s onwards.
