Spanish revolutionaries in the pacific deportation (1874–1877)

Abstract

After the suppression of the cantonal uprisings of 1874, hundreds of their participants and activists of the Spanish Regional Federation of the First International were exiled without trial to the colonies in the Philippine and Mariana Islands, where they were forced to survive in difficult and completely unusual conditions for them. Some of them continued to fight in exile. The circumstances of these large-scale deportations are almost unknown to the Russian-speaking reader. The author tried to reconstruct the history of the Pacific exile of the revolutionaries in 1874–1877, including on the basis of such sources as the Spanish periodical press of the 1870s.
