10:47Now PlayingDuring the First World War, Spain remained officially neutral but practiced “benevolent neutrality” toward the Allies, especially France and United Kingdom. The war boosted Spain’s economy through exports of food and raw materials, yet wealth was uneven, causing inflation and social unrest. Spanish society became divided between pro-German and pro-Allied factions, reflecting deeper political tensions. Meanwhile, the country turned into a battleground for espionage, propaganda, and economic competition. German submarine attacks on Spanish ships increased pressure to join the war, but Spain stayed out. In the end, neutrality spared destruction but brought little reward, exposing Spain’s internal weaknesses and limited global influence.
