France used France to control people. Anyway, it was the Catholic King that restored democracy. So, obviously monarchies and religion are a good thing, right?
The Catholic King also established the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, and the only reason why the Spanish King didn't take power after that was because he was a complete idiot and had no hope of retaining power.
