Abstract

This article is presented as one more expression of the interrelation that Chilean and Hispanic history have had since 1936, both in its international dimension and in the domestic sphere. The impact of the Spanish Civil War was of enormous magnitude, and it marked the influence of Spanish evolution in the national politics since then. The triumph of the Chilean Christian Democracy in 1964 will imply a return to the speech denouncing the Franco regime, which in fact will prove to be more symbolic than real, and a cooling of relations. But the progressive distancing of the United States and the null approach towards the countries of the European Communities, it became increasingly evident how much Spain could offer to the Christian Democratic modernization project, regardless of the nature of its regime.
