HIST 1141 - SPAIN AND PORTUGAL IN THE 20TH CENTURY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
In 1898 Spain lost its empire during the Spanish-American War. Portugal, instead, preserved its empire for most of the 20th century. This divergence resulted in different developments such as a Civil War in Spain (1936-1939) and a political revolution in Portugal (1974). However, both countries also shared similar experiences: long-lasting authoritarian regimes, democratic transitions, and incorporation into the European community. The course tackles the singularities, commonalities, and connections, and places them in global context.
