Second biennium of the Second Spanish Republic

The Second biennium of the Second Spanish Republic, also called the Radical-Cedist Biennium, rectifying biennium, conservative biennium, counter-reformist biennium, and black biennium or the biennium of terror by the left, constitutes the period of the Second Spanish Republic between the general elections of November 1933 and those of February 1936 during which the centre-right republican parties led by the Radical Republican Party of Alejandro Lerroux governed, allied with the Catholic right of the CEDA and the Agrarian Party, first from Parliament and then participating in the government. Precisely, the entry of the CEDA into the Government in October 1934 triggered the most important event of the period: the Revolution of 1934, a failed socialist insurrection that only consolidated in Asturias for two weeks (the only place where the CNT also participated), although the Revolution of Asturias was finally also crushed by the intervention of the army.
