Questions about : THE RESTORATION:
1875-1923
1º What did the peaceful turn (turno pacífico)
consist of during the reign of Alfonso XII?
Under his reign, there was a new
political system: the turno Pacífico. Only two political parties were
permitted: the Liberals and the Conservatives. These parties took turns in
holding power.
2º Who
were the most important political figures during the reign of Alfonso XII?
In this new system of alternating power, there were two key
political figures:
• Antonio Cánovas del Castillo,
who was Prime Minister six times and leader of the Conservatives.
• Práxedes Mateo Sagasta, who was Prime Minister eight times and
leader of the Liberals.
3º What
were the pros and cons of the Restoration period?
PROS:
· After a
century of instability, Spain was stable again.
· It was a
period of economic prosperity and modernization.
· There
was peace and prosperity in Cuba and Puerto Rico.
CONS:
· The only
way to guarantee the system would work was through electoral fraud: the King
chose the government and the result of the election was decided in advance.
· Basque
and Catalan nationalism grew in protest against the unfair system.
