    The Partido Socialista Obrero España (Spanish Socialist Party) comprised two main factions during the Second Spanish Republic: reformist socialists who followed Indalecio Prieto and revolutionary Socialists led by Largo Caballero. Both served in the republican government from 1931-1933. Following the collapse of the left alliance in 1933, the PSOE was part of the Popular Front government elected in 1936. The party came under pressure from its youth movement in 1934 to move further left, and the radical followers of Largo Caballero came to dominate the PSOE and UGT despite efforts by the more moderate right wing to slow changes.

    PSOE: Partido Socialista Obrero España

    During the Second Republic the Partido Socialista Obrero España, the Spanish Socialist Party,
    comprised two main strands of thought. Reformist socialists looked to the intellectual journalist
    Indalecio Prieto; revolutionary Socialists to Largo Caballero a working class socialist and general
    secretary of the socialist trade union, the UGT. Both served in the republican government of
    1931-1933. Following the disastrous collapse of the left-republican alliance that led to the 'black
    years' of 1933-1935, the PSOE was an important member of the Popular Front government
    elected in February 1936.

    The Socialists came under pressure from their youth movement, which developed throughout
    1934, who wanted the Party to move further to the left. Despite attempts by the right-wing of the
    party to slow down the process of bolshevisation taking place, the young radical followers of
    Largo Caballero came to dominate both the PSOE and the UGT.
