Quando si parla di guerra civile spagnola e di brigate internazionali, il pensiero corre agli anni tra il 1936 e il 1939. Ma già un secolo prima, tra il 1833 e il 1839, durante la prima guerra carlista, una guerra civile divampata per una disputa dinastica, gruppi di volontari, rivoluzionari e controrivoluzionari, si erano mobilitati per accorrere in Spagna da tutta Europa. Lo studio dell impatto della prima guerra carlista sul piano internazionale è stato in parte trascurato dagli storici, pur offrendo alla ricerca diversi oggetti di indagine. La storiografia ha tradizionalmente preferito una prospettiva tarata intorno al concetto di Stato nazionale, per lo studio di un periodo considerato la fase cruciale del processo di corrosione delle strutture politiche, economiche sociali d ancien régime e della crisi del prestigio della monarchia spagnola nel quadro delle potenze europee. Le conseguenze della prima guerra carlista superarono però i confini della penisola: la Gran Bretagna, la Francia, la Prussia, l Austria, la Russia, gli stessi Stati italiani preunitari si mobilitarono per una parte o per l altra. Ma soprattutto si mobilitarono gli individui che volontariamente in Spagna si arruolarono per difendere i nuovi principi liberali o conservare le inveterate consuetudini, in quello che fu un momento di straordinaria partecipazione civile, il risorgimento della militanza politica a dimensione europea.

Abstract
During the First Carlist War, a dynastic and civil war fought in Spain between 1833 and 1840, International Brigades went to the Spanish peninsula to fight either for the liberal Party, bearing Isabel II, the young daughter of Ferdinand VII and heir to the throne of Spain, or for the conservatives, siding with Carlos, Ferdinand s brother and heir presumptive. The study of the impact of the First Carlist War over the international background has been almost ignored by historians, although could have being considered a focal point of European History. The Historiography preferred a National point of view to talk about this period, considered the apex of the process of political, economic and social corrosion of the ancien régime and the crisis of the prestige of the Spanish Kingdom between European Powers. Nevertheless, the consequences of the First Carlist War crossed the peninsula s borders: the United Kingdom, France, Prussia, Austria, Russia and Preunitarian Italian States intervened either on Isabel s or Carlos behalf. Volunteers were recruited all over Europe: it was the rise of a new cosmopolitan idea of militancy and civic engagement. Consequently a transnational perspective nowadays becomes useful to analyse a war that was more than the result of a dynastic conflict, but it was the testing ground of a new conception of Politics emerged .in the 19th century: the Politics that mobilizes people and not just diplomacies and States.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
