| ARTICLES RELATED TO Cortes Generales | | | |  Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - History of Western Sahara - The cease-fireIn 1991 Morocco and the Polisario Front agreed on a UN-backed cease-fire in the Settlement Plan. This plan, its further detail fleshed out in the 1997 Houston Agreement, hinged upon Morocco's agreement to a referendum on independence among the indigenous population. The plan intended this referendum to constitute their exercise of self-determination, thereby completing the territory's yet unfinished process of decolonization. The UN despatched a peace-keeping mission, the MINURSO, to oversee the cease-fire and make arrangements for the vote. ...

| | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Juan Carlos I of Spain - Early life The future King's early life was dictated largely by the political concerns of his father, Juan de Borbón, and Franco. He moved to Spain in 1948 to be educated there after his father persuaded Franco to allow this. He began his studies in San Sebastián and finished them in 1954 at the San Isidro Institute in Madrid. He then joined the army, doing his officer training, 1955-1957, in Zaragoza.
In 1956, when Juan Carlos was 18, he accidentally shot his younger brother, the Infante Alfonso, causing his death. This event happened in the ...

| | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Juan Carlos I of Spain - Family and private life Juan Carlos was married in Athens on May 14, 1962, to HRH Princess Sophia of Greece and Denmark, daughter of King Paul. She was Greek Orthodox but converted to Roman Catholicism in order to become Spain's Queen. They had two daughters, Elena and Cristina, and a son, the heir apparent, Felipe.

| | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Juan Carlos I of Spain - Role in contemporary Spanish politics The election of socialist leader Felipe González to the Spanish Prime Ministership in 1982 marked the effective end of Juan Carlos' active involvement in Spanish politics. González would rule for over a decade, and his administration helped consolidate the democratic gains initiated by Juan Carlos and thus maintained the stability of the nation. Today the King exercises little real power over the country's politics, but is regarded as an essential symbol of the country's unity. Unlike many other European monarchs, under the constitution, t ...

| | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Juan Carlos I of Spain - Franco's heir 1969-1975 The regime of Francisco Franco had come to power during the Spanish Civil War, which had pitted republicans and socialists against conservatives, monarchists and fascists, with the latter group ultimately emerging successful. Despite his alliance with monarchists, Franco was not keen to restore the deposed Spanish monarchy once in power, preferring to instead head a regime with himself as Head of State for life. Though Franco's partisan supporters generally accepted this arrangement for the present, much debate quickly ensued over whom would ...

| | | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Habsburg Spain - An emperor and a king 1521-1556 Charles’s victory at the Battle of Pavia, 1525, surprised many Italians and Germans and elicited concerns that Charles would endeavor to gain ever greater power. Pope Clement VII switched sides and now joined forces with France and prominent Italian states against the Habsburg Emperor, in the War of the League of Cognac. In 1527, due to Charles' inability to pay them sufficiently his armies in Northern Italy mutineed and sacked Rome itself for loot, forcing Clement, and succeeding popes, to be considerably more prudent in their dealings wi ...

| | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Habsburg Spain - The Spanish economy 1516-1700 Like most of Europe, Spain had suffered from famine and plague during the 14th and 15th centuries. By 1500, Europe was beginning to emerge from these demographic disasters, and populations began to explode - Seville, which was home to 60,000 people in 1500 burgeoned to 150,000 by the end of the century. There was a substantial movement to the cities of Spain to capitalize on new opportunities as shipbuilders ...

| | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Habsburg Spain - The Spanish bureaucracy 1516-1700 The Spanish received a massive influx of gold from the colonies in the New World as plunder when they were conquered, much of which Charles used to prosecute his wars in Europe. It was not until the 1540s that large deposits of silver were found in Potosí and Guanajuato and a steady source of income was obtained. The Spanish left mining to private enterprise but instituted a tax known as the "quinto real" whereby a fifth of the metal was collected by the government. The Spanish were quite successful in enforcing the tax throughout th ...

| | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Habsburg Spain - Spanish society and the Inquisition 1516-1700 The Spanish Inquisition was formally launched during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, continued by their Habsburg successors, and only ended in the nineteenth century. Under Charles I the inquisition became a formal department in the Spanish government, hurtling out of control as the sixteenth century progressed. Charles also passed the Limpieza, a law that excluded those not of pure Old Christian, non-Jewish blood from public office. Although torture was common in Europe, the way the Inquisition was practiced encouraged corruption ...

The Spanish Golden Age was a flourishing period of arts and letters in Spain which spanned roughly from 1550-1650. Some of the outstanding figures of the period were El Greco, Diego Velázquez, Miguel de Cervantes, and Pedro Calderón de la Barca.
El Greco and Velázquez were both painters, the former most notably recognized for his religious depictions and the latter—now regarded as one of the most important figures in all of Spanish art—for his precise, realistic portraiture ...

| | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Spanish transition to democracy - The Political Role of King Juan Carlos I The death of Franco elevated Don Juan Carlos de Borbón to the monarchy. Until Franco’s death, Juan Carlos had discreetly stood in the background and seemed to follow the dictator’s plans. However, once in power as King of Spain, Juan Carlos facilitated the development of a democratic political system, as his father, Don Juan de Borbón, had advocated since 1946.
The transition was an ambitious plan that counted on ample support both within and outside of Spain. The Western nations, headed by the United States (which had generally ...

| | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Spanish transition to democracy - The Governments of the UCD The UCD received a plurality, but not an absolute majority, in both the June 1977 and March 1979 elections. In order to exercise power, the UCD had to form parliamentary coalitions with other political parties.
The government spent much of its time from 1979 working to hold together the many tendencies within the party itself, as well as their coalitions. In 1980, the Suárez government had for the most part accomplished its goals of transition to democracy and lacked a further clear agenda. Many UCD members were fairly conservative a ...

| | | | | Cortes Generales: Encyclopedia II - Habsburg Spain - The road to Rocroi 1626-1643 Olivares was a man sadly out of time; he realized that Spain needed to reform, and to reform it needed peace. The destruction of the United Provinces of the Netherlands was added to his list of necessities because behind every anti-Habsburg coalition there was Dutch money: Dutch bankers stood behind the East India merchants of Seville, and everywhere in the world Dutch entrepreneurship and colonists undermined Spanish and Portuguese hegemony. Spinola and the Spanish army were focused on th ...

Struggling with continuing piracy against its shipping in the Atlantic and the disruption of its vital gold shipments from the New World, Spain was forced to admit bankruptcy again in 1596. The Spanish attempted to extricate themselves from the several conflicts they were involved in, first signing the Treaty of Vervins with France in 1598, recognizing Henry IV (since 1593 a Catholic) as king of ...
