Los municipios de Navarra, Álava, Gipuzkoa y Bizkaia como vía de reivindicación de la autonomía vasca en 1917-1919 y en la Segunda República

Abstract

In this article, we will analyse the role of municipalities in the four Basque-peninsular territories as a path towards recognising autonomy: first, during the autonomist campaign of 1917-1919; second, during the autonomy drafting, forming, and debating projects developed during the Second Republic. The analysis takes into account the Catalan example and the profile of intervening agents and political strategies of the political parties is highlighted.
