This unit provides an overview of Spain's troubled march through Republic, Civil War and Dictatorship. It begins with the expectations raised by the proclamation of the Second Republic in April 1931 and concludes with the new hopes established by the death of General Franco and the end of the dictatorship in November 1975. Particular attention will be paid to the polarisation of politics and the breakdown of democracy which took place in the 1930s; the nature of the two Spains at war and its international allies, the foundations and consolidation of Franco's lenghty dictatorship as well as its late crisis and demise.

Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
