  • Alfonso XIII's previous support for Miguel Primo de Rivera made him extremely unpopular
  • The Pact of San Sebastian united Spain's leading socialists, liberals and even some conservatives, who failed to launch a military coup
  • Alfonso's refusal to recognise the results of the 1931 elections led to widespread violence. 2 days later, after being advised by General Berenguer, he fled Spain
  • The King was replaced by a provisional coalition government in April 1931 which was largely composed of liberals and socialists
