Abstract

The recruitment of Spanish volunteers in defense of Pius IX (1850)

The role of the Army and the Church are important keys to understanding the construction of the Spanish liberal state in the nineteenth century. That is why we propose to unite both thematic coordinates in a concrete fact, the project of Spanish legion for the defense of the Papal States of 1850, and to analyze the existing relations between politics, diplomacy, the Church, the Army and the Spanish society against a common cause: the defense of Pius IX.
