History
In 1869, representatives of Catalonia , Aragon , Valencia, and the Balearic Islands signed the Tortosa Pact , which envisaged the reorganization of Spain from a unitary monarchy into a federal democratic republic . [one]
In 1873, due to the political crisis in Spain, King Amadeus I abandoned the throne, and the First Spanish Republic was created . At the same time, the elected president (chairman of the autonomous government) of Catalonia announces the creation of the Catalan state. The reaction to this action was the threat of an armed invasion of Catalonia by the head of government of the First Spanish Republic, Estanislao Figueres . Catalonia was forced to abolish its independence. During the Second Carlist War, Catalonia supported the Carlist side, therefore, after the end of the war in 1874 and the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty, the new government carries out a series of repressive measures against Catalonia.
