The End of the Spanish Empire, 1898-1923
Book • 1997
This is the first full account in any language of Spain's war with the United States in 1898, in which Spain lost the remnants of its old empire.
Balfour weaves together political, economic, and social history in his study of the reaction to war and crisis by a wide range of participants, examining the rise of Catalan nationalism, efforts to regenerate Spain, the disintegration of Spain's political system, and the creation of an imperial myth under the subsequent dictatorships.
The book provides essential reading for understanding the roots of the Spanish crisis in the first half of the twentieth century.
