He founded the CEDA, the first modern party of the Spanish right, and did so during the Second Republic of 1931-36, at a critical moment for conservative Catholics opposed to several aspects of the new constitution. He sought to create a new legalist, possibilist right-wing movement that could win at the ballot box and demonstrate its strength in parliament. He achieved a great electoral victory in November 1933, but did not succeed in becoming prime minister. The left considered him a danger to the republican regime. In July 1936, after another election and a tense spring, there was an attempted coup d'eÌtat, and the Civil War began. This brought a definitive end to party politics and, therefore, to the experience of the CEDA. From that point Gil-Robles lived in Portugal, and did not return to Spain until the 1950s. He supported the Allies during the Second World War, and argued for the restoration of the Spanish monarchy. He also played an important role in inspiring new movements for Christian Democracy. This book is an account of the "republican" period in the life of Gil-Robles. It is the first thoroughly-researched biography that examines in a balanced, well-documented manner the paramount, though still problematic, contribution he made to the democratization of Spanish conservative politics. It responds to certain crucial questions as to why the CEDA was unsuccessful, and what were the obstacles that it encountered in its attempts to amend the republican system"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Catholic populism -- The republic in motion -- The constitution must be revised -- The building of a modern party -- After victory -- The time to govern -- Know how to win and know how to lose -- Confronting the "state of subversion" -- After the war. 600 10 $a Gil Robles, JoseÌ MariÌa, $d 1898-1980. 610 20 $a CEDA (Organization : Spain) $x History. 600 17 $a Gil Robles, JoseÌ MariÌa, $d 1898-1980. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00042604 610 27 $a CEDA (Organization : Spain) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00711064 650 0 $a Catholics $z Spain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Politicians $z Spain $v Biography. 651 0 $a Spain $x Politics and government $y 1931-1939. 650 7 $a Catholics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00849297 650 7 $a Politicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069915 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Spain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204303 648 7 $a 1931-1939 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Sussex studies in Spanish history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017025639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2C9035E22E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
