Abstract
The status granted to foreigners across the Spanish territory, whether domiciled or transient, for various reasons has been an element of attention for government authorities since at least the early 18th century. The Spanish-American war, which ended in 1898, and, above all, the First World War – the effects of which overwhelmed Spain despite its proclaimed neutrality – represented key moments. The presence in the territory of citizens of other States, especially European ones, and the consideration of their contribution to the nation, also through the processes of naturalisation, acquired special public importance and significantly influenced the relevant legislation in this regard.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
