Some notes about the initial projects of the spanish and argentine political reformism in the beginning of the twentieth century

Abstract

Historiography has focused on national political projects with attention to the ideological and cultural links that occurred in different places, but with affinities supported by historical reasons. This is the case of the connection between Spain and Latin America at the beginning of the 20th century, in the midst of the migratory phenomenon of Spaniards to the American continent. This is a moment of great interest because ideas of a liberal nature and democratic projection are being expressed on both sides of the ocean.

In this article we will focus our attention on the links between the proposals of the Argentine and Spanish reformist liberals at the beginning of the 20th century, expressed in the formation of the Spanish Reform Republican Party in 1912 and the Argentine Progressive Democratic Party in 1914, beyond the Personal and collective evolutions of both political projects that will form part of later investigations.
