These unresolved tensions between the former Great Powers and the new states would ultimately lead to the rise of Hitler and a new, terrible world war only two decades later.

Lo que ocurrió realmente el 23 de febrero de 1981 está claro hoy: no fue un intento de golpe de estado, sino una operación especial para reparar el sistema político. Una operación con la que estaba de acuerdo la mayor parte de la clase dirigente, y, por supuesto, la institución monárquica. En principio su objetivo era el de solucionar los problemas surgidos con el desarrollo del proceso autonómico, reformar la Constitución en aspectos que parecían necesarios, modificar la ley y proceso electoral, y acabar con la violencia terrorista.

It would take over two decades for that to become a reality, "From Sea to Sea". This work chronicles the birth of the Dominion of Canada. (Summary by TriciaG)
