A published author in the 1910s who stood with the Allies during World War I, Azaña rejected the nostalgia for Imperial Spain and followed the French Enlightenment instead, taking up a political quest for democracy in the 1920s. When the Second Spanish Republic was proclaimed in April 1931, he became Minister of War and enacted military reform to modernize the armed forces with fewer officers, then Prime Minister that October. He organized the Popular Front in 1935 and became President in 1936. The Spanish Civil War broke out during his presidency. With the Republic's defeat in 1939, he fled to France, resigned, and died in exile a year later at sixty.
