Spain: The 20th Century in Color - Season 1 Episode 1 The 1930s (Part 1)
Spain is a poor, industrially backward and corrupt country. The proclamation of Alfonso XIII as king changes nothing. His alliances with the army, the church and the upper classes make him a king distant from the people and their needs. There is a high level of illiteracy and infant mortality, there is hunger and lack of resources, there is no running water and diseases spread easily. But in this Spain of scarcity, cultural concerns are born from the hands of figures like Dalí or Alberti, adventurers like the pilots of the Plus Ultra who make the first transatlantic flight, or engineers like De La Cierva and his "Autogyro". The general mobilization of the Spanish people leads to the arrival of change that comes with the proclamation of the Second Republic and the political will to modernize the country.
