[en] Franco?s regime was born with an alternative view to that proposed by the Second Republic. The new regime born of the weapons had a unitary and centralized national concept in opposition not only to the political ideology of the peripheral nationalisms, but also to the historical interpretation that they had offered about the history of Spain. This fact, and the political nature of the regime, directly impacted historiographical production. Do not forget that we have a dictatorship, which implies the existence of critical conditions within the institutional framework. And do not forget either that the historiography of this period was marked by a traumatic event, the Civil War, forcing it to carry out a forced reading of history, especially of certain historical periods. In the absence of an ideological discourse entirely new and original, the new state adopted and promoted a model postwar history of conservative and Catholic, which had its roots in the liberal tradition, and added some ingredients that own both speech of National Falange and the National Catholicism. All these factors, together with the persistence of some historians that both continued to develop his career in Spain as a number of works that followed reissuing along these years, has led the Spanish historiography to discuss the extent to which there was indeed a snap liberal historiographical tradition. This paper attempts to review the draft nationalist hypothetical assumes the entire historiographical production after the Civil War, restricting their analysis to study time frame comprising the first two decades of dictatorship. To do this, we analyze the extent to which general histories of Spain presented a vision of the historical past Spanish way (which responds to the ideological principles of the regime), and the role that claims to Catalonia in the formation of Spain as united and cohesive national entity. In this sense, we wanted to see if Catalonia, a region considered purely Spanish, is allocated a number of special features that are considered legitimate, if it is seen as a region historically unsupportive and individualistic, or the role played building in Spain is taken as second order compared to other regions such as Castile, were usually considered as the core through which has formed the national soul.

[es] El franquismo naci? con una visi?n alternativa a la que hab?a propuesto la II Rep?blica. El nuevo r?gimen nacido de las armas presentaba un concepto nacional unitario y centralista en abierta oposici?n no s?lo al ideario pol?tico de los nacionalismos perif?ricos, sino tambi?n a la interpretaci?n hist?rica que ?stos hab?an ofrecido en torno a la Historia de Espa?a. Este hecho, y la naturaleza pol?tica del r?gimen, repercutieron directamente en la producci?n historiogr?fica. No hay que olvidar que estamos ante una dictadura, lo que implica la existencia de condicionantes decisivos dentro del marco institucional. Y no hay que olvidar tampoco que la historiograf?a de esta ?poca qued? marcada por un hecho traum?tico, la Guerra Civil, que oblig? a ?sta a llevar a cabo una lectura forzada de la Historia, especialmente de determinadas etapas hist?ricas. A falta de un discurso ideol?gico totalmente nuevo y original, el nuevo Estado adopt? y promocion? durante la posguerra un modelo de Historia de corte conservador y cat?lico, que hund?a sus ra?ces en la tradici?n liberal, y al que se a?ad?an algunos ingredientes propios del discurso tanto del nacional-falangismo como del nacional-catolicismo. Todo estos factores, unidos a la pervivencia tanto de algunos historiadores que siguieron desarrollando su actividad profesional en Espa?a como de un buen n?mero de obras que se siguieron reeditando a lo largo de estos a?os, ha llevado a la historiograf?a espa?ola a debatir el grado en que se produjo verdaderamente una ruptura brusca de la tradici?n historiogr?fica liberal. Este trabajo trata de revisar el hipot?tico calado nacionalista que se arroga a la totalidad de la producci?n historiogr?fica posterior a la Guerra Civil, circunscribiendo su an?lisis de estudio al marco cronol?gico que comprende las dos primeras d?cadas de la dictadura. Para ello, se analiza el grado en que las Historias generales de Espa?a presentan una visi?n unidireccional del pasado hist?rico espa?ol (la cual responda a los principios ideol?gicos del r?gimen), as? como el papel que se arroga a Catalu?a en el proceso de formaci?n de Espa?a como ente nacional unido y cohesionado. En este sentido, hemos querido observar si a Catalu?a, considerada como una regi?n netamente espa?ola, se le asignan una serie de rasgos particulares que se estiman leg?timos, si se la contempla como una regi?n hist?ricamente insolidaria e individualista, o si el papel que ha desempe?ado en la construcci?n de Espa?a es tenido como de segundo orden frente al de otras regiones que, como Castilla, han sido normalmente consideradas como el n?cleo a trav?s del cual se ha formado el alma nacional.
