AI overview

Alfonso XIII was the King of Spain who ruled from 1886 until he was forced to abdicate in 1931, a period that included Spain's loss of its remaining colonies and significant internal conflict. His reign matters historically because it ended with the collapse of the Spanish monarchy and the establishment of Spain's Second Republic, marking a major turning point in Spanish political history.

Alfonso XIII (Spanish: Alfonso León Fernando María Jaime Isidro Pascual Antonio de Borbón y Habsburgo-Lorena; French: Alphonse Léon Ferdinand Marie Jacques Isidore Pascal Antoine de Bourbon; 17 May 1886 – 28 February 1941), also known as El Africano or the African for his Africanist views, was King of Spain from his birth until 14 April 1931, when the Second Spanish Republic was proclaimed. He became a monarch at birth as his father, Alfonso XII, had died the previous year. Alfonso's mother, Maria Christina of Austria, served as regent until he assumed full powers on his sixteenth birthday in 1902.
