APROXIMACIÓN A LAS RELACIONES INTERNACIONALES DE ESPAÑA (1834-1874).

- Abstract
In the second third of the XIXth century, Spain was a small peripheral state, whose limited international role was determined by its own weakness, its political instability and the extra-European character of its basic interests (that is, the remains of the scattered colonial dominions of its lost empire located in the Antilles —Cuba in particular—, Asian Southeastern and Pacific). Between 1833 and 1868 (reign of Isabel II) Spain made a relatively successful effort to improve as a small nation, subordinated to France and Great Britain. But such achievement did finally fade away during the traumatic period of 1868-1874, in which the country underwent a triple civil war (Carlist, Cuban and cantonal) and a practically complete international isolation.
