History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War

The Reapers' War or Guerra dels Segadors (1640–1652), also known as the War for Catalan Independence, started as an uprising of peasants in Barcelona. Conflicts had already arisen between Catalonia and the monarchy in the time of Philip II. Having exhausted the economic resources of Castile, Philip wished to avail himself of those of Catalonia; the Catalan governmental institutions and privileges were well protected by the terms of union of the kingdoms, and were jealously guarded by the Catalan oligarchy. After Philip IV acc ...

History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - Catalonia Aragon and Castile

History of Catalonia - Union with Aragon. Until the middle of the 12th century, the successive counts of Barcelona tried to expand their domain in multiple directions. They incorporated the county of Besalú, part of the county of Empúries, all of the county of Cerdagne, and, briefly, even the county of Provence. The Catalan church, for its part, became independent of the bi ...

History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - Catalan nationalism and the workers movement

In 1874, a coup by General Martínez Campos in Sagunto led to a restoration of the Bourbon dynasty in the person of Alfonso XII. A period of political stability, of repression of the workers movement, and of a slow growth in Catalan nationalist identity extended to the early years of the 20th century, when once again political opposition broke to the fore, especially republicanism and Catalan nationalism, but also class-based politics reflecting social tensions. The following decades saw the rise of the political Catalanism still prev ...

History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - The Carlist wars

The reign of Ferdinand VII (reigned 1808–1833) saw several Catalan uprisings and after his death the conflict over the succession between the absolutist "Carlist" partisans of Infante Carlos and the liberal partisans of Isabella II led to the First Carlist War, which lasted until 1840 and was especially virulent in the Catalan territory. As with the Basques, many of the Catalans fought on the Carlist side, not because they supported absolute monarchy but because they hoped that restoration of the Old Regime would mean restoration ...

History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - Republic and civil war

After the fall of Primo de Rivera, the Catalan left made great efforts to create a united front under Francesc Macià. The Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (Republican Left of Catalonia, or ERC) represented a break with the electoral abstentionism that, until then had been characteristic of the Catalan workers. Advocating socialism and Catalan independence, the party achieved a spectacular victory in the municipal elections of April 12, 1931, which preceded the April 14 proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic. The Catalan Generalitat wa ...

History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - Franco's dictatorship

As in the rest of Spain, the Franco era (1939–1975) in Catalonia saw the annulment of democratic liberties, the prohibition and persecution of parties, the rise of thoroughgoing censorship, and the banning of all leftist institutions. In Catalonia, it also meant the annulment of the statute of autonomy, the banning of virtually all specifically Catalan institutions and traditions, and the complete suppression of the Catalan-language press, education and any other public use of the language. All resistance was energetically suppressed, conc ...

History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - The Napoleonic Wars

In the 1790s, new conflicts arose on the French border, due to the French Revolution and the French Revolutionary Wars. In 1808, during the Napoleonic Wars, Catalonia was occupied by the troops of General Philippe Guillaume Duhesme. The official Spanish army had evaporated, but popular resistance against the French occupation occurred in Catalonia as in other parts of Spain, and eventually developed into the Spanish War of Independence. Girona was besieged by the French and defended by its inhabitants under the direction of general and milit ...

History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - War of the Spanish Succession

The War of the Spanish Succession (1705–1714) resulted in the revocation of Catalonia's traditional autonomy and privileges. Afterwards, Spain attempted to crush the Catalans' sense of identity as a nation. The Catalan language was repressed in varying degrees for the next two and a half centuries. In the last decades of the 17th century, despite the persistence of intermittent violent conflict with France, the Catalan economy began to recover, not only in Barcelona, but also along the Catalan coast and even in some inland areas. Ho ...

History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - Roman times

Romanization brought a second, distinct stage in the ancient history of Catalonia. Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Calvus arrived in Ampurias, with the objective of cutting off the sources of provisions of Hannibal's Carthaginian army during the Second Punic War. After the Carthaginian defeat, and the defeat of various Iberian tribes who rose up against Roman rule, 195 BC saw the effective completion of the Roman conquest of the territory that later became Catalonia and Romanization began in earnest. The various tribes were absorbed into a common Roman culture and lost their distinct ...

History of Catalonia - Visigothic and Muslim rule. The Crisis of the Third Century affected the whole Roman Empire, and gravely affected the Catalan territory, where there is evidence of significant levels of destruction and abandonment of Roman villas. This is also the period of the first documentary evidence of the arrival of Christianity. While archaeological evidence shows the recovery of some urban nuclei, such as Barcino (later Barcelona), Tarraco (later Tarragona), and Gerunda (later Girona), the previous situation was ...

History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - Prehistory in Catalonia

The first known human settlements in what is now Catalonia were at the beginning of the Middle Palaeolithic. The oldest known traces of human occupation are the mandible of a pre-Neandertal found in Banyoles, some 25,000 years old. Some of the most important remains of the period were found in the caves of Mollet (Serinyà, Pla de l’Estany), the Cau del Duc in the Montgrí mountain ("cau" meaning "cave" or "lair"), the remains at Forn d'en Sugranyes (Reus) and the shelters Romaní and Agut (Capellades), while those of the Upper Pale ...

History of Catalonia - The Reapers' War: Encyclopedia II - History of Catalonia - The rise of Iberian culture

During the period of Iberian civilization, the Catalan territory was home to several distinct tribes: The Indiketes in Empordà, the Ceretans in Cerdagne and the Airenosins in the Val d'Aran. The influx of Celtic peoples led to a characteristic blend of cultures known as Celtiberian, which was affected by the first arrival of colonists from Ancient Greece and Carthage; like the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, Catalonia participated in what became the Iberian culture. At this time Empúries (originally Greek Emporion market, then Emp ...
