Biography
Spanish lawyer and liberal politician. Being president of the Council of Ministers, was killed in a terrorist attack on 12 November 1912. He was Minister of Public Works, of Grace and Justice, Treasury and Minister of Agriculture, Industry, Commerce and Public Works during the regency of María Cristina Habsburgo-Lorena and president of the Council of Ministers and again Minister of Public Works and Minister of Grace and Justice during the reign of Alfonso XIII. He was elected president of the Congress of Deputies of Spain during the 1906-1907 Legislature.
It has been argued that the disasters Spain experienced during the 1930s could be traced to Canalejas' murder, given that this murder deprived King Alfonso of one of his few genuine statesmen.
