In which year did the violent clashes of the Tragic Week take place in Barcelona?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 1909
- Step 1: According to the official source: The Tragic Week (in Catalan la Setmana Tràgica, in Spanish la Semana Trágica ) (25 July – 2 August 1909) was a series of violent confrontations between the Spanish army and anarchists, freemasons, socialists and republicans of Barcelona and other cities in Catalonia, Spain, during the last week of July 1909. ... The rioters considered the Roman Catholic Church a part of the corrupt middle and upper class whose sons did not have to go to war, and much public opinion had been turned against the Church by anarchist elements within the city. Answer: 1909. Why not the others: 1923, 1917, and 1898 represent different historical years or calendar periods in Spanish history.
