As in much of Europe, the nineteenth-century history of Spain would largely revolve around the conflicts between the three major liberal currents - radicalism; progressive classical liberalism, or conservative classical liberalism. While all three rejected the Catholic, traditionalist, and absolutist Old Regime, each had a different perspective on the urgency and degree to which state and society needed reforming to modernize the values and institutions. The term 'liberal' itself was usually used to signify classical liberalism. It had a progressive-liberal wing as represented by the Fusionist Liberal Party (more inclined towards gradual reform, and making compromises with the radical current); and a conservative-liberal wing as represented by the Liberal Conservative Party (more inclined towards traditionalism, and compromising with the absolute-monarchist faction). Its various currents were broadly united by a set of shared beliefs: In political affairs, parliamentarianism, though of a socially-conservative kind (e.g., suffrage limited to property-owners); In economic affairs, free-market capitalism; In social affairs, conservatism (e.g.: rejecting full universal suffrage; or a strictly laic separation of church and state) In constitutional affairs, flexible towards the type of constitutional regime (monarchy or republic). For the left-liberal and social-liberal currents, 'liberal' was rarely used as the single defining label. Instead such currents rather used labels such as radical, democratic or republican (see republicanism). The shared beliefs that generally unified its various factions included: Universal manhood suffrage; Sovereignty to be vested in the people of the nation rather than in the royal parliament; A root-and-branch reform to remove the political influence of monarchical, religious and aristocratic patronage; A certain degree of social-democracy, as the nineteenth-century progressed; An active role for an administratively-centralized state in carrying out these tasks.

(October 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) From Liberals to Liberal Fusionist Party[edit] Main article: Spanish Constitution of 1812 Main article: Trienio Liberal A common grave for six Liberal politicians from the 19th century at the Panteón de Hombres Ilustres, Madrid. 1808-12: Until 1839 the Spanish liberals were not organized in a well-established party, but formed their own factions. During the War of Independence and the Constitution of Cádiz the term Liberals (Liberales, 1812-1820) was used to describe the diverse range of currents influenced by the Enlightenment and French Revolution and united in rejecting the absolutism of the Bourbon monarchy. 1820-39: Between 1820 and 1839 the Liberals split into two factions. The 'Radicals' (Exaltados), known as Veinteanistas (Supporters of 1820) were inspired by French Jacobinism and Radicalism and wished to draft a new more progressive constitution based on universal suffrage; the 'Moderates' (Moderados), closer to classical liberalism, were known as Doceanistas (Supporters of 1812) as they wished simply to restore the more limited constitution of 1812. 1839-1879: Finally in 1839 most of the Radicals and Moderates organized themselves into a loose parliamentary group known as the Progressives (Progresistas, 1839-1880), led by people like Baldomero Espartero, Salustiano Olózoga, Juan Prim, Práxedes Sagasta and Francisco Serrano y Domínguez, Duke de la Torre. Out of this current various factions splintered off to form successor parties: the in 1843, the ⇒Democratic Party in 1854 the ⇒Liberal Union; in 1869 the Democratic Radical Party; in 1879 the ⇒ Democratic Progressive Party. 1880: The majority of Liberal currents united in the Fusionist (i.e. merged) Liberal Party (Partido Liberal Fusionista), led by Sagasta, though some more Radical factions remain outside the party 1882: A left-wing faction of the party established the ⇒ Dynastic Left, most of its members returned between 1884 and 1886 to the Liberal Fusionist Party 1890: The ⇒ Possibilist Democratic Party joined the party 1907: A left-wing faction of the party seceded as the ⇒ Monarchist Democratic Party 1918: A faction seceded as the ⇒ Liberal Left 1923: The party disappeared due to the Miguel Primo de Rivera coup[citation needed] Democratic Party[edit] 1843: The left-wing of the ⇒ Progressives established the Democratic Party (Partido Demócrata) as a rally of left-wing liberals and moderate socialists 1868: The republican wing formed the ⇒ Federal Republican Party 1871: The party disappeared and remnants of the party continue as a monarchist party Liberal Union[edit] 1854: Moderate ⇒ progressives established the Liberal Union (Unión Liberal), led by Leopoldo O'Donnell 1868: The party merged with the conservative Moderates into the Liberal Conservative Party Federal Republican Party[edit] 1868: The republican wing of the ⇒ Democratic Party established the Federal Democratic-Republican Party (Partido Republicano Democrático Federal), also known as the Republican-Democratic Party 1878: A faction joined the ⇒ Reformist Republican Party 1879: A faction seceded as the ⇒ Possibilist Democratic Party 1891: The party absorbs a faction of the ⇒ Democratic Radical Party 1923: The party disappeared due to the Primo de Rivera coup[citation needed] From Democratic Radical Party to Centralist Party[edit] 1869: A left-wing faction of the Progressives seceded as the Democratic Radical Party (Partido Radical Demócrata), led by Ruiz Zorilla 1876: The party is reorganised into the Reformist Republican Party, led by Nicolás Salmerón 1878: A faction of the ⇒ Federal Republican Party joined the party 1879: A faction joined the ⇒ Democratic Progressive Party 1890: The party is renamed Centralist Party (Partido Centralista) 1891: The party is absorbed by the ⇒ Federal Republican Party Possibilist Democratic Party[edit] 1879: A faction of the ⇒ Federal Republican Party formed the Possibilist Democratic Party ('Partido Posibilista'), led by Emilio Castelar 1890: The party joins the ⇒ Liberal Fusionist Party Democratic Progressive Party[edit] 1879: A left wing faction of the ⇒ Progressives with dissidents of the Reformist Republican Party formed the Democratic Progressive Party (Partido Progresista Democrático) 1882: The party merges into the ⇒ Dynastic Left Dynastic Left[edit] 1882: A faction of the ⇒ Liberal Fusionist Party together with the Democratic Progressive Party established the Dynastic Left (Izquierda Dinástica), led by Francisco Serrano and Adolfo Posada 1886: Between 1884 and 1886 most of the members returned to the ⇒ Liberal Fusionist Party Liberal Democratic Party[edit] 1913: A faction of the ⇒ Fusionist Liberal Party seceded and formed the Liberal Democratic Party, led by Manuel García Prieto 1923: The party disappeared[citation needed] Republican Union (1906)[edit] 1906: A faction of the ⇒ Federal Republican Union seceded as the Republican Union (Unión Republicana), led by Nicolás Salmerón 1908: A faction seceded as the ⇒ Radical Republican Party 1923: The party disappeared due to the Primo de Rivera coup[citation needed] Monarchist Democratic Party[edit] 1907: A left-wing faction of the ⇒ Liberal Fusionist Party seceded as the Monarchist Democratic Party (Partido Democrático Monnárquico) of José Canalejas 1923: The party disappeared due to the Primo de Rivera coup[citation needed] Radical Republican Party[edit] 1908: A faction of the ⇒ Republican Union established the Radical Republican Party (Partido Republicano Radical), led by Alejandro Lerroux 1929: A left-wing faction established the ⇒ Radical Socialist Republican Party 1933: Due to the development into a conservative party, the liberal wing seceded as the ⇒ Radical Democratic Party.
