Abstract

From a comparative perspective, the overall objective of this paper is to analyse how nationally regenerative proposals as iberism and imperialism were affected by the impact of the First World War in Spain. Within this framework, it especially studies the iberismas national horizon in a dynamic context, strongly conditioned by the development of the conflict and the positions assumed by Portugal, the evolution of domestic politics and the heated debates that took place in Spain. It also takes a look at the contact points between the various approaches of Aliadophiles and Germanophiles on these issues to observe a shared field between the two groups. To sum up, the main objective of the paper is to analyze the Spanish neutrality within the general framework of the renewal of the nationalist discourses that were developed in Europe during the war.
