Talk:Abolition of monarchy
Appearance
Did I get "1999" right when writing about the decision not to abolish the monarchy in Australia? What happened in Spain? I know that the monarchy there was restored when Franco died, but when was it abolished? Michael Hardy 23:30 Apr 6, 2003 (UTC)
- The Spanish Republic was set up in 1931.
- "Those of Romania, Albania, Italy, and China were abolished in the aftermath of World War II." Err, no, the Chinese Republic was established in 1912, if I recall my history correctly (President Dr Sun Yat Sen)
- "That of Ireland was not abolished when Ireland became independent of Britain in the 1920s, but was abolished later [when?]." 1949, despite the country having also had a president since 1938. -- Arwel 23:35 Apr 6, 2003 (UTC)
