Abstract

El trienio liberal en Catalunya (1820-1823)

The Trienio Liberal (1820-1823) is a key-period within the long process of the Old Régime’s crisis and of the bourgeois revolution in Spain. During the Trienio the two fields of revolution and counter-revolution shall become defined, and within the former the other two of the moderado and exaltado liberalism, which will confront each other during the XIX Century. Catalonia shall have a decisive importance both in the constitutional régime’s growth, becoming one of its main bulwarks with the Milicia Voluntaria, and in the counter-revolutionary’s with the development of royalist guerrillas.
