Military History of Modern Spain
From the Napoleonic Era to the International War on Terror
AvWayne H. Bowen,José E. Alvarez

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
In the 19th and 20th centuries, Spain was a key player in the military conflagrations that created modern Europe. From the Napoleonic Wars, through the dress rehearsal for World War II that was the Spanish Civil War, to the grim struggle against terrorism today, the military history of modern Spain has both shaped and reflected larger forces beyond its borders.This volume traces the course of Spanish military history, primarily during the 20th century. Chapter 1 provides the foundation for the role of the Spanish Army at home (the War of Independence [Napoleonic War], the Carlist Wars, and pronunciamientos), abroad (Morocco, 1859-60), and as an instrument for Liberal reforms in Spain. Chapter 2 covers the period following the Spanish-American War as the Army redirected its focus to the Spanish Protectorate in northern Morocco. This chapter covers the Rif Rebellion (1921-27), the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera (1923-30) and concludes with the end of the monarchy and the establishment of the 2nd Republic in 1931. Chapters 3 and 4 present the two armies of the Spanish Civil War, as well as their relationship to the warring factions of Nationalists and Republicans. Chapter 5 looks at the Spanish Army during World War II on the Eastern Front (Russia), in its overseas colonies, as well as in Spain. De-colonialism is covered in chapter 6 as Spain, following the lead of the other European powers, began to shed itself of its African empire. Chapter 8 charts Spain's integration into the Western defense community in the 1950s, its membership in NATO, and its participation in peacekeeping and humanitarian missions in the Balkans and the Middle East. Chapter 9 focuses on Spain's struggle against terrorism, both the domestic Basques of ETA (Fatherland and Liberty) and the newer conflict against al-Qaeda and radical Islamic fundamentalism.
Spaniards and Nazi Germany
Collaboration in the New Order

Using recently declassified documents from Spain and the United States, personal interviews and unpublished and published Spanish, German, British and US records, this work seeks to make a significant contribution to the understanding of Hispano-German relations during the 1930s and 1940s. This study show that Naziphiles within the Spanish Falange, Spain's Fascist party, made a concerted effort to bring Spain into World War II, and that only the indecisiveness of dictator Francisco Franco and diplomatic mistakes by the Nazis prevented them from succeeding. The author demonstrates that while Spain was neutral in World War II, its policies clearly favoured the Axis, at least in the early stages of the war. Franco, who had emerged victorious from the Spanish Civil War in 1939 largely because of support from Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, even carefully considered entering World War II on the side of Nazi Germany. By the late 1930s, members of the Falange saw World War II as a revolutionary opportunity, a chance to lead Spain into a new age as a partner with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy at the head of a New Europe of social justice and authoritarian regimes. By the end of 1939, a significant minority of pro-Nazi Spaniards were unhappy that Spain had not entered to war remade itself to fit better into Hitler's New Order. Bowen argues that support for Nazi Germany in Spain and among Spanish communities throughout Europe was both wide and deep, and that this enthusiasm for the Third Reich and the New Order it promised to bring lasted until the end of the war. Despite statements of neutrality by the Spanish government, the Franco regime was well aware of this collaboration by Spanish citizens as late as 1944-45 and did little to stop it. Had Hitler been more interested in bringing Spain into his empire, or exploiting the pro-Nazi sentiments of these thousands of Spaniards, he might have replaced Franco with someone more willing to support his interests even as late as 1943. ""Spaniards and Nazi Germany"" presents many possibilities for what might have been a far different outcome of World War II in Europe. It shows that even without the full support of the Spanish or German governments, pro-Nazi Spaniards, even if they didn't quite bring Spain into the war, added to the strength of the Third Reich by serving in its armies, working in its factories and promoting its ideas to other nations.
Truman, Franco's Spain, and the Cold War

Well-deployed primary sources and brisk writing by Wayne H. Bowen make this an excellent framework for understanding the evolution of U.S. policy toward Spain, and thus how a nation facing a global threat develops strategic relationships over time.President Harry S. Truman harbored an abiding disdain for Spain and its government. During his presidency (1945–1953), the State Department and the Department of Defense lobbied Truman to form an alliance with Spain to leverage that nation’s geostrategic position, despite Francisco Franco’s authoritarian dictatorship. The eventual alliance between the two countries came only after years of argument for such a shift by nearly the entire U.S. diplomatic and military establishment. This delay increased the financial cost of the 1953 defense agreements with Spain, undermined U.S. planning for the defense of Europe, and caused dysfunction over foreign policy at the height of the Cold War.
Spain and the Protestant Reformation
The Spanish Inquisition and the War for Europe

For Charles V and Philip II, both of whom expected to continue the momentum of the Reconquista into a campaign against Islam, the theology and political successes of Martin Luther and John Calvin menaced not just the possibility of a universal empire, but the survival of the Habsburg monarchy. Moreover, the Protestant Reformation stimulated changes within Spain and other Habsburg domains, reinvigorating the Spanish Inquisition against new enemies, reinforcing Catholic orthodoxy, and restricting the reach of the Renaissance and Scientific Revolution.
This book argues that the Protestant Reformation was an existential threat to the Catholic Habsburg monarchy of the sixteenth century and the greatest danger to its political and religious authority in Europe and the world. Spain’s war on the Reformation was a war for the future of Europe, in which the Spanish Inquisition was the most effective weapon. This war, led by Charles V and Philip II was in the end a triumphant failure: Spain remained Catholic, but its enemies embraced Protestantism in an enduring way, even as Spain’s vision for a global monarchy faced military, political, and economic defeats in Europe and the broader world.
Spain and the Protestant Reformation will appeal to researchers and students alike interested in the history and society of Early Modern Spain.

This book examines the leadership of Gerardo Salvador Merino, the chief director of the Sindicatos, fascist-controlled unions under the Franco Regime, and his plan to send 100,000 volunteer Spanish workers to Nazi Germany.Despite a degree of charisma and organizational effectiveness, the ambitions of Salvador Merino failed to transform Spain or lift the working classes, and his career ended with the discovery of ties to Freemasonry. Workers who volunteered for Germany to improve their workplace skills, aid the New Order, and support their families instead endured air raids, Nazi racism, and wartime miseries. These failures highlight the Franco Regime’s misplaced hope to be on the winning side of World War II through low-cost affiliation with Nazi Germany. In the end, Spain derived few benefits from its enthusiasm for Hitler, and after the war endured isolation for its earlier aims. Through new sources on both Salvador Merino and the Spaniards in the Third Reich, this book reveals the story of unsuccessful revolutionary intentions, failed collaboration, and the suffering experienced by Spanish workers, including Republican exiles.This volume will be useful to historians and general readers interested in the history of World War II, modern Spain, fascism, and the use of foreign labor in wartime.

Este libro presenta un análisis de las relaciones que, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la postguerra hasta 1953, mantuvieron con la España franquista los cuatro Estados que prota-gonizaron de manera principal aquella contienda. Rehuyendo los postulados de la historia diplomática tradicional, en este obra se analizan los procesos de toma de decisión; los condi-cionantes ideológicos y estratégicos de los mismos; los protagonistas principales y las actua-ciones fundamentales de los cuatro países hacia la España de Franco. Todo ello en el contexto del cambio de paradigma fundamental que de las relaciones internacionales se dio durante los períodos citados: la sustitución del antifascismo como paradigma dominante en las mismas por el retorno del anticomunismo. Investigado a partir de fondos públicos y privados de archivos estadounidenses, alemanes, británicos y japoneses, algunos de ellos inéditos, el libro representa una contribución destacada en el esfuerzo por estudiar al otro, en este caso exterior, en relación con la España franquista. Todo ello de la mano de cinco reputados especialistas en los cuatro países investigados, los profesores Bowen, Rodao, Sáenz-Francés, Moreno y Thomàs.

Esta obra coral ofrece un estudio sobre el franquismo y las relaciones internacionales de España con dos significativas potencias, EE. UU. y Reino Unido, durante la Guerra Fría. En ella se hace un análisis de la evolución en las relaciones bilaterales con España desde la época de la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera y la Segunda República, cuando los diplomáticos españoles intentaban buscar préstamos, privados y públicos, en Estados Unidos; pasando por el papel clave ejercido durante la guerra y los primeros años de posguerra por determinados sectores financieros y empresariales estadounidenses en el reencuentro bilateral de Estados Unidos y España, centrándose en bancos como el Chase y en empresas como la World Commerce Corporation. También estudia las actuaciones en Washington y Nueva York de José Félix de Lequerica, sus lobbystas contratados, sus senadores "amigos", el llamado Spanish Lobby así como el Spanish Bloc. Igualmente, con las actuaciones de las autoridades consulares franquistas de San Francisco y de Los Angeles, abandonando el enfoque espacial dominante en la historiografía. Así mismo, se estudia el cambio que supuso la llegada de los laboristas británicos al poder en 1945, enfrentados a la doble dinámica de necesitar el apoyo de Estados Unidos y estar presionados por su partido y su propio antifranquismo.
