Question: What was the tragic week in Barcelona in the 20th century!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Tragic Week ( in Spanish la Semana TrĂ¡gica) (July 25-August 2, 1909) is the name used for a series of bloody confrontations between the army and the working classes of Barcelona and other cities of Catalonia, backed by the anarchists, socialists and republicans, during the last week of July 1909!. It was caused by the calling-up of reserve troops by Prime Minister Antonio Maura to be sent as reinforcements when Spain renewed military-colonial activity in Morocco on July 9, in what is known as the Second Rif War!.
