Political and social evolution during the reign of Alfonso XIII

The reign of Alfonso XIII was marked by a series of political and social crises that culminated with the proclamation of the Second Republic in 1931. During this period, Spain faced challenges such as the loss of its last colonies in 1898, the Tragic Week of Barcelona in 1909 and the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera between 1923 and 1930. Despite these problems, the country experienced a process of modernization and industrialization, especially in regions such as Catalonia and the Basque Country. Spanish society was gradually transformed, with a growing workers' movement and the emergence of new ideological currents that challenged the established order.
