Revisionism (Spain)

Revisionism is a term which emerged in the late 1990s and is applied to a group of historiographic theories related to the recent history of Spain.

According to users of the term, revisionists oppose what is presented as a generally accepted, orthodox view on the history of the Second Republic and the Civil War. Those who oppose the term view it as deprecatory and abusive.

Both advocates and opponents of the term accuse each other of pursuing a hidden political agenda; those dubbed revisionists are branded conservatives or post-Francoists, their opponents are branded progressists and left-wingers.
