Abstract

The "Revolt of the Masses" in Spain
Diffie, Bailey W. | February 1, 1933 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on Spain's subsiding revolt, that is the fourth strong revolutionary movement since the establishment of republic in April 1931. This time it was a movement led by the Monarchists with General Jose Sanjurjo at its head. Revolution by the Monarchists was to be expected, for no privileged class has ever given up its power without a struggle. Two chief reasons may be cited for the continuance of the disorders: the existence of a small but well-organized proletarian opposition with a theory of government different from that of the present regime; and a general economic malheur among the lower classes which the republic has not yet been able to cure.
