Aliadophiles and Germanophiles in Spanish thought during the First World War. Historiographical balance of a civil war of words

Abstract

This article reviews and examines the publications on the ideological debate between aliadophiles and germanophiles in Spain during the Great War (1914-1918) in order to settle the progress of research, its deficiencies and its future development means. There have been considered essentially those works that have dealt with the question on a general Spanish level and which have prioritized or paid much attention to the intellectual controversy sustained by the most eminent representatives of Spanish thought of the time, since this perspective has practically monopolized the investigation about the ideological impact of the Great War in Spain.
