Reign of Leopold I[]

The fall of the Hohenzollern dynasty[]

Establishment of the First Republic[]

French invasion and the military regime[]

May 6 Revolution[]

During the second half of the 1980 decade, Spain was suffering an economic crisis due to the international isolation of the dictatorship. There were protests all over the country, harshly repressed by the government led by Milans del Bosch. On 1991, he resigned because of his old age and health problems and named Alfonso Armada his substitute. Armada wasn't a hard conservative as Milans del Bosch but the repression continue the same. On May 6, 1997, a group of rebellious military officers, known as the Democratic Military Union (UMD), launched a military coup against the regime. Using a carefully planned strategy, they took control of key strategic points in Madrid and other cities across the country, without bloodshed. The military coup was seen with quite fear by certain population sectors, because they didn't know if the officers responsible of the coup, were really trying to establish a democracy or taking the power for themselves. That fear was quickly calmed when the officers established a temporal government led by Julio Anguita, principal leader of the opposition to he previous regime.
