Twentieth-Century Spain: Politics and Society in Spain, 1898-1998 (European History in Perspective)
Francisco J. Romero Salvado

Palgrave Macmillan, 1999

Today, Spain is a modern society with an important profile in the European Union. This image contrasts strikingly with the reality of Spain one hundred years ago.

From the Fashoda incident in 1898 to the current Blair-Jospin "entente," this book reviews one century of Franco-British relations. Friend or foe? Partner or rival? Model or counter-model?

Yet, these essays show they have always had more things in common than suspected in the first place, and there has always been a strong case for cooperation.
