Three abandons. Spanish Republicanism faced with Totalitarianism, Authoritarianism and Parliamentary monarchy

Abstract

It is set out, from the perspective of exile, a critical review of hegemonic account whereby Francoism was a regime that, in spite of his totalitarian beginning, it would progress later to democracy and parliamentary Monarchy. This review is divided in four stages: 1939-1945, around this beginning; 1945-1956, between the hope to be helped by the victors of the II Mundial War and the frustration after the establishment in Spain of North American military bases; 1956-1965, when important movements of protest and opposition grow in Spain; 1965-1975, when the contradictions of the previous period are sharpened; from the Francos’s die to the present, under the influence of Transition.
