 Brief History

The revolution that led to the dethronement of Queen Isabella II was the work of army oligarches led by Francisco Serrano y Domingues and Progressive conspirators behind General Prim y Prats, the Prime Minister.

The Democrats became active in setting up juntas after the revolution. The Democratic intellectuals' main contribution was to add a radical democratic content to the demands of the military oligarchy. The generals were determined to keep the leadership of the revolution in their own hands by channeling it into a constitutional monarchy.
