It shows that from the early nineteenth century Britain turned Spain into an informal colony, using its economic and military dominance to achieve its strategic and economic ends. Britains free trade campaign, which aimed to tear down the legal barriers to its explosive trade and investment expansion, undermined Spains attempts to achieve industrial take-off, demonstrating that the relationship between the two countries was imperial in nature, and not simply one of unequal national power. Exploring five key moments of crisis in their relations, from the First Carlist War in the 1830s to the Second World War, the author analyses Britains use of military force in achieving its goals, and the consequences that this had for economic and political policy-making in Spain. Ultimately, the Anglo-Spanish relationship was an early example of the interaction between industrial power and colonies, formal and informal, that characterised the post-World War Two period. An insightful read for anyone researching the British Empire and its colonies, this book offers an innovative perspective by closely examining the volatile relationship between two European powers. 001439949 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001439949 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xRelations$$zSpain. 001439949 651_0 $$aSpain$$xRelations$$zGreat Britain. 001439949 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y19th century. 001439949 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001439949 651_0 $$aSpain$$xHistory$$y19th century. 001439949 651_0 $$aSpain$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001439949 651_6 $$aGrande-Bretagne$$xHistoire$$y19e siècle. 001439949 651_6 $$aGrande-Bretagne$$xHistoire$$y20e siècle. 001439949 651_6 $$aEspagne$$xHistoire$$y19e siècle. 001439949 651_6 $$aEspagne$$xHistoire$$y20e siècle. 001439949 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001439949 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001439949 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSharman, Nick.$$tBritain's informal empire in Spain, 1830-1950.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z9783030779498$$w(OCoLC)1264404811 001439949 830_0 $$aBritain and the world. 001439949 852__ $$bebk 001439949 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-77950-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001439949 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1439949$$pGLOBAL_SET 001439949 980__ $$aBIB 001439949 980__ $$aEBOOK 001439949 982__ $$aEbook 001439949 983__ $$aOnline 001439949 994__ $$a92$$bISE
