Synopsis

Contemporary Basque society can only be understood in connection to the consequential events of the fleeting twentieth century. This had a lasting impact on the psyches of the Basques. A clear example of this, in the case of the Basque Autonomous Country (BAC), is that (part of) society still refer to the period beginning in 1936--or even further back, in 1931--to justify, understand, and explain present-day circumstances.
