Commentary
Alphonse XIII (17/05/1886-28/02/1941) est le fils posthume d'Alphonse XII (1857-1885) et de Marie-Christine d'Autriche (1858-1929). Son règne débute sous la régence de Marie-Christine. En 1898, après une courte guerre (1895-1898) contre les États-Unis, l'Espagne perd Cuba et les Philippines. En 1906, Alphonse épouse Victoria-Eugénie de Battenberg (1887-1969), petite fille de Victoria I. Neutre pendant la Première guerre mondiale, l'Espagne rattrape son retard économique. Après la dictature du général Primo de Rivera entre 1923 et 1930, l'insurrection éclate en 1931. Alphonse quitte l'Espagne, mais n'abdique jamais. La République est proclamée et cinq plus tard la guerre civile éclate. Elle dure trois ans et coûte plus d'un million de morts. Alphonse XIII meurt en exil à Rome.
Alfonso XIII (May 17, 1886–February 28, 1941) was the posthumous son of Alfonso XII (1857–1885) and Maria Christina of Austria (1858–1929). His reign began under Maria Christina's regency. In 1898, after a short war (1895–1898) against the United States, Spain lost Cuba and the Philippines. In 1906, Alfonso married Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg (1887–1969), granddaughter of Victoria I. Neutral during the First World War, Spain made up for lost economic ground. After the dictatorship of General Primo de Rivera between 1923 and 1930, the insurrection broke out in 1931. Alfonso left Spain, but never abdicated. The Republic was proclaimed, and five years later, civil war broke out. It lasted three years and cost more than a million lives. Alfonso XIII died in exile in Rome.
