The term Alfonsism refers to the movement in Spanish
King of Spain after the foundation of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931.[1] The Alfonsists competed with the rival monarchists, the Carlists, for the throne of Spain.[1]
Background
Since the crisis of the dynastic conservatism in the 1910s, the authoritarian accents within the former political camp had increased, with a new generation of
National Monarchist Union.[2]
History
After the overthrow of the monarchy of Alfonso XIII in 1931, the supporters of the later formed the Falange party led by José Antonio Primo de Rivera, hoping to coopt it as a tool for the party's objectives.[4] In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, the Alfonsists of Renovación Española merged alongside the Falange, the Carlist traditionalists, and CEDA under Francisco Franco's directive to form a united National Movement, the FET y de las JONS.[6]
