# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born into Andalusian aristocracy in 1870, Primo de Rivera rose through the military ranks after fighting in Morocco in 1893, eventually reaching lieutenant general by 1919. On 13 September 1923, amid political chaos over Spain's failing colonial war in the Rif, he staged a coup with backing from Africanist generals and the quiet consent of King Alfonso XIII, suspended the 1876 constitution, and imposed martial law. After the Alhucemas landing crushed Rifian resistance in 1925, he shifted from military to civilian rule and launched a spending spree on infrastructure and state monopolies like Campsa. When inflation climbed and civic unrest spread, his generals withdrew their support; he resigned in January 1930 and died in exile two months later. His children José Antonio and Pilar later became fascist leaders.
