The article studies the political role of the army in Spain and its influence on the sociopolitical life of the country in the first third of the 20th century. The preconditions for transition from armed forces to arbiter of the internal political life are analyzed. The reasons for and manifestations of militarization of the Spanish society, the roots of authoritative tendencies in the system of state governance are studied. Using concrete example, the direct influence of military authorities on governmental decisions and law-making process has been proved. It has been established that military putsches in Spain were a traditional reaction of armed forces to crisis phenomena in the political system of the state. Thus, the establishment of the military-monarch dictatorship of General M. Primo de Rivera was a logical result of the constitutional-monarchist regime crisis in Spain.References
