what is the government of spain today?
Constitutional monarchy
neutral
 This impasse was resolved through negotiations between the juntas and the Council of Castile , which led to the creation of a " Supreme Central and Governmental Junta of Spain and the Indies " on September 25 , 1808 . It was agreed that the traditional kingdoms of the peninsula would send two representatives to this Central Junta , and that the overseas kingdoms would send one representative each . These " kingdoms " were defined as " the viceroyalties of New Spain , Peru , New Granada , and Buenos Aires , and the independent captaincies general of the island of Cuba , Puerto Rico , Guatemala , Chile , Province of Venezuela , and the Philippines . "

 Spain was neutral in World War I. Afterwards the working class , the industrial class , and the military united in hopes of removing the corrupt central government , but were unsuccessful . Fears of communism grew . A military coup brought Miguel Primo de Rivera to power in 1923 , and he ran Spain as a military dictatorship . Support for his regime gradually faded , and he resigned in January 1930 . He was replaced by General Dámaso Berenguer and then Admiral Juan Bautista Aznar @-@ Cabañas , who both continued to rule by decree . There was little support for the monarchy in the major cities , and King Alfonso XIII gave in to popular pressure for the establishment of a republic and called municipal elections for 12 April 1931 . The socialist and liberal republicans won almost all the provincial capitals and with the resignation of Aznar 's government , King Alfonso XIII fled the country . The Second Spanish Republic was formed and would remain in power until the culmination of the Spanish Civil War .

 Spain came into existence as a single , united kingdom under Charles I of Spain on 23 January 1516 . The monarchy was briefly abolished by the First Spanish Republic from 11 February 1873 until 29 December 1874 . The monarchy was abolished again on 14 April 1931 , first by the Second Spanish Republic – which lasted until 1 April 1939 – and subsequently by the dictatorship of Francisco Franco , who ruled until his death on 20 November 1975 . Monarchy was restored on 22 November 1975 under Juan Carlos I , who was also the monarch until is abdication in 2014 . His son Felipe VI is the current monarch . Today , there is a large number of organisations campaigning in favor of establishing a Third Spanish Republic ; Data from 2006 suggest that only 25 per cent of Spaniards are in favor of establishing a republic , however , the numbers have increased since Juan Carlos I abdicated . 

contradiction
 The Spanish government was involved in several conflicts across Latin America : war with the Dominican Republic , Peru and Chile ( see below ) , slave revolts in Cuba , a bad economic situation in its colonies , among others . It attempted to appease the growing discontent of the citizens of its remaining colonies in the continent by setting up a board of review that would receive complaints from representatives of the colonies and attempt to adjust legislation that affected them . This board , the " Junta Informativa de Reformas de Ultramar " ( Overseas Informative Reform Board ) would be formed by representatives of each colony , in proportion to their collective population , and would meet in Madrid . The Junta would report to the then Minister of Foreign Affairs , Emilio Castelar . 

contradiction
 The Republic proved ineffective militarily , relying on disorganized revolutionary militia . The Republican government under Giral resigned on 4 September , unable to cope with the situation , and was replaced by a mostly Socialist organization under Francisco Largo Caballero . The new leadership began to unify central command in the republican zone .
