They show how political change during the Republic had a major economic impact on the different groups in village society, leading to social conflicts that turned to polarization and finally, with the civil war, to violence and brutality. The democratic Republic failed not so much because of the opposition from the landed elites, but rather because small farmers had been unable to exploit more effectively their newly found political voice."-- $c Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a Civil War (Spain : 1936-1939) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352321 650 0 $a Democratization $z Spain $x History. 650 0 $a Land reform $z Spain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Agriculture $x History. $z Spain $x History. 651 0 $a Spain $x Causes. $y Civil War, 1936-1939 $x Causes. 651 0 $a Spain $x Politics and government $y 1931-1939. 651 0 $a Spain $x Rural conditions $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Agriculture $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00801415 650 7 $a Democratization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890123 650 7 $a Land reform. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00991280 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Rural conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01101474 650 7 $a War $x Causes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170331 651 7 $a Spain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204303 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Carmona, Juan $q (Carmona Pidal), $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Simpson, James, $t Why democracy failed $d Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press, [2020] $z 9781108766999 $w (DLC) 2019059911 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in economic history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2679FEECF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
