1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:06,900
good morning good afternoon everyone today I'm going to explain what happened

2
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:16,699
in Spain during the late 20th century okay but before starting I would like to

3
00:00:16,699 --> 00:00:22,379
talk a bit about the picture that we have just in front of us okay in that

4
00:00:22,379 --> 00:00:33,500
picture we have six different faces that belong to six different men and i'm aware i'm sure that

5
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:42,240
some of them will be familiar for you but others won't so those six people from here

6
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:53,039
have been all the presidents of the government that spain have had since franco's death okay

7
00:00:53,039 --> 00:01:04,120
nowadays we should include a seventh or another president here because when this book was done

8
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:17,859
Pedro Sánchez wasn't the president yet okay all right let's continue thankfully Spain as we know

9
00:01:17,859 --> 00:01:28,659
it today is a democracy it means that we have a large number of rights and we are free to do

10
00:01:28,659 --> 00:01:39,920
a lot of things remember with dictatorships we can do whatever we want okay yes we can actually

11
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:50,019
we can do it but if we do we can have some problems well even though the laws are made

12
00:01:50,019 --> 00:02:01,060
and created by politicians all citizens over 18 years old choose the politicians remember that

13
00:02:01,060 --> 00:02:09,639
the politicians those people from here are politicians they are representatives of the people

14
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:18,479
that are used every four years in an election.

15
00:02:18,479 --> 00:02:28,599
After Franco's death, his dictatorship was obviously finished

16
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:33,400
and a young king named Juan Carlos I

17
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:40,120
was going to be the responsible for the future of our country.

18
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:48,680
Luckily, a democracy system was established, as I told you before,

19
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:56,900
and President Adolfo Suárez, the first president that we had after Franco's death,

20
00:02:59,460 --> 00:03:02,740
led Spain to important changes.

21
00:03:02,740 --> 00:03:14,060
some of them were that the political parties were legal again there was also an election

22
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:22,199
to vote for the politicians and a new constitution was written among many more

23
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:33,659
changes okay this constitution was finally approved by its approval for the 59% of the

24
00:03:33,659 --> 00:03:45,620
people in the country it means that the 59% of the people who vote okay were in favor

25
00:03:45,620 --> 00:03:50,900
of this constitution of the establishment of this constitution

26
00:03:50,900 --> 00:04:01,580
Remember that a constitution is a document in which there are duties and rights

27
00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:06,000
Hay obligaciones y derechos, por supuesto

28
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,919
for the people who live together in a territory, in the same territory

29
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:33,279
After Franco, Spain has hosted international events such as the Football World Cup in 1982 or the Olympic Games in 1992.

30
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:39,860
and another milestones from the history of our country

31
00:04:39,860 --> 00:04:51,100
were when we became a member of the European Union in 1986

32
00:04:51,100 --> 00:05:02,899
or when the euro replaced our former currency named La Peseta in 2002

33
00:05:02,899 --> 00:05:14,779
Another important milestone is not here, but you can include here in that part at the bottom.

34
00:05:14,779 --> 00:05:24,839
It was when the terrorist group ETA announced its end in 2018.

35
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,839
It's more recently.

36
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:39,279
Now it's time to move to the last lesson, but not the least, of the unit and of the course considering social science.

37
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:50,399
Spain is a well-known country worldwide, en todo el mundo, for its culture in all ways.

38
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:58,300
if you ask if you sorry if you ask a person from another country if you ask a foreigner

39
00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:08,480
for our most famous writer or painter it's very likely that they will mention Miguel de Cervantes

40
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:18,740
and Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dalí well regarding painting in this century there

41
00:06:18,740 --> 00:06:27,319
were three main artistic movements or styles. The first one, cubism. Guernica from Picasso

42
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:39,660
belonged to that style. Second one, surrealism. El Carnaval de Arlequín from Joan Miró or

43
00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:49,829
la persistencia de la memoria, from Salvador Dalí, belong to that style.

44
00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:55,389
The third style, abstract art.

45
00:06:56,930 --> 00:07:07,269
Sculptures like El Peine del Viento in San Sebastián, you can find it here, or El Elogio

46
00:07:07,269 --> 00:07:18,069
del Horizonte in Gijón are sculptures related to that style. You should know that they are located

47
00:07:18,069 --> 00:07:29,069
in the public space, okay? They are outdoors, they are outside, so if you want to visit them

48
00:07:29,069 --> 00:07:37,790
you won't have to pay anything at all okay its visit is for free as they are outside

49
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:49,449
we are moving now to literature okay and we are finishing the the unit with that part

50
00:07:49,449 --> 00:07:58,829
a great group of artists arised in that century that group received the name of generation of

51
00:07:58,829 --> 00:08:15,550
That group was made up of writers like Lorca, remember, who was killed in the Spanish Civil War, Gerardo Diego, Vicente Alessandre, and many more, okay?

52
00:08:16,350 --> 00:08:24,589
On that picture, you can find in small letters the names of basically all of them, okay?

53
00:08:24,589 --> 00:08:34,970
And that's all folks, I hope I had done a good job explaining these two lessons, and

54
00:08:34,970 --> 00:08:38,669
thanks for watching, bye bye!
