| Sumario: | [EN] On the centenary of the First World War, it is taking a historiographical review in which the concepts, practices and content of neutrality are reframed. Different historiographies discussed today what really meant for their countries neutrality, why they chose the option of stand aside from a general conflict, what pressures they had to favor the position of the various combatants, what answers given to these pressures, and what consequences had the different attitudes. .As is well known, in the face of the outbreak of the Great War, Spain chose neutrality. However, in a clash of such dimensions it was impossible for any European country to remain outside the conflict. Neither the successive Spanish governments, or its authorities, or very different sectors of Spanish society maintained an strict neutrality and equidistance. Nor the belligerent countries were indifferent to the attitude adopted by Spain and the advantages their collaboration could offer in the fight.From those perspectives, this paper will be analyzed British consideration of Spain during the First World War as well as the efforts made by the representatives of Great Britain to win the Spanish support, beyond its theoretical neutrality. For this, they will be studied two especially interesting moments, 1914 and 1917, in which the possibility that Spain entered the war was raised, evaluating the interest that this situation could have for Britain and the actions taken by the British to get Spanish support |
