Abstract

The purpose of this Master's Thesis is to show that King Juan Carlos was primarily responsible for the democratic political changes which occurred in Spain after the death of Franco. Only Juan Carlos, as Head of State, could peacefully transform the Franquist political structure. It was his ability to do so while maintaining control of the military that allowed Spain to have its first free election in 41 yrears.
