History
The history of Carlism can be usefully divided into four different stages, whose dates are only approximate (thus the overlap is intentional):
- 1833–1876: The conquest of power was tried mainly by military means.
- 1868–1936: Carlism reverted to a peaceful political movement.
- 1936–1975: During the Spanish Civil War, the Carlists were part of Franco's coalition. During the Franco regime, some government ministers were drawn from Franco's Carlist supporters, but the movement as a whole was gradually marginalized by the general.
- 1975–present: After Franco's death, the Carlist movement declines into near irrelevance.
