The Kingdom of Spain in 1975

The Spanish transition to democracy, known in Spain

as la Transición (IPA: [la tɾansiˈθjon]; "the Transition")
or la Transición española ("the Spanish Transition"), is a
period of modern Spanish history encompassing the
regime change that moved from the Francoist dictatorship
to the consolidation of a parliamentary system, in the form
of constitutional monarchy under Juan Carlos I.
The democratic transition began after the death of
Francisco Franco, in November 1975.[1] Initially, "the
political elites left over from Francoism" attempted "to
reform of the institutions of dictatorship" through existing
legal means.[2] But social and political pressure saw the
formation of a democratic parliament in the 1977 general
election which had the imprimatur to write a new
constitution that was then approved by referendum in
December 1978.
