About This Book

The volume recounts the unraveling of a constitutional monarchy in its final years, tracing parliamentary dissensions, a splintering conservative majority with a younger reformist faction, ministerial crises and rejected reform proposals; it analyzes economic distress caused by a poor harvest and consequent financial and social strain, the destabilizing influence of press conflicts and corruption scandals leading to trials, and how governmental inflexibility, elite weariness, and political factionalism combined to bring about the regime's collapse.
