O sonho da República na Espanha do século XIX (1840-1868)

Abstract

The first Republican groups have emerged in Spain in 1840. They had a growing popular support and a considerable weight in the historical dynamics of this period that led to the Revolution of 1868. Despite the success of these groups in the spread of attitudes, values and democratic practices, they failed to establish a Republic in Spain. This essay describes the origins, evolution and the discourses of Spanish Republicans sectors of the middle decades of the nineteenth century and analyzes the debates they have established with other Liberal groups about the republic, especially in the Constituent Parliament of 1869.
