The First Spanish Republic (Spanish Primera República Española) - the political system proclaimed by the parliament (Cortes) on February 11, 1873 and lasted until December 29, 1874, when General Arsenio Martinez-Campos organized the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty. The republic was proclaimed after the abdication of the Spanish king Amadeus I, which occurred as a result of an acute social crisis and the outbreak of the Second Carlist War, on February 10, 1873. The next day, February 11, Spain was proclaimed a republic by a parliamentary majority consisting of radicals, republicans and democrats.
