This volume describes and analyses the methods Germany used to
reinforce Spain's independence thereby preventing Madrid's entry
into the war on the Allied side. While there have been many studies
dealing with the wartime economic histories of Holland,
Switzerland, Denmark and Iceland, Spain, physically large and
strategically situated has been largely ignored, with little
American study of Spanish relations with the European belligerents
having been done. Particular attention is paid to the forceful
personality of Spanish King Alfonso XIII, who shrewdly used his
special friendship with Kaiser Wilhelm II for Spanish profit: he
remained a Francophile who shrewdly manipulated the Germans into
thinking he favoured their side. At the same time Alfonso fended
off the embrace of the Entente.
