Leopoldo O'Donnell

Japanese: オドンネル - おどんねる(英語表記)Leopoldo O'Donnell
Leopoldo O'Donnell

Spanish military and politician. Born into an aristocratic family that produced many military personnel. He fought on the side of Maria Cristina in the Carlist Wars and gained her trust. In 1840, he attempted an anti-Espartero coup but failed, and went into exile with Maria Cristina. In 1854, he participated in a coup against the anti-moderate government and succeeded, becoming Minister of War in the progressive Espartero government. Politically, he was in the middle between moderates and progressives, and in 1856 he ousted Espartero in a coup, and held power for a long time from 1858 to 1863. While he launched several foreign campaigns, including the African War of 1859-1860, he also took advantage of the economic boom caused by the development of the cotton industry and the railway construction boom to realize a relatively stable government. He became prime minister again in 1865, but resigned the following year in the face of an economic crisis and intensifying movements by progressives, democrats, and the people, handing power to Narvaez, who took a hard-line approach. He died on November 5, 1867 in Biarritz, France.

Japanese:

スペインの軍人、政治家。軍人を輩出する貴族の家系に生まれる。カルリスタ戦争でマリア・クリスティナ側で戦い、その信任を得た。1840年に反エスパルテロのクーデターを試みて失敗し、マリア・クリスティナとともに亡命したが、1854年には反穏健派政府のクーデターに加わって成功し、進歩派のエスパルテロ政府の陸相となった。政治的に穏健派と進歩派との中間にあり、1856年クーデターによりエスパルテロを追放、1858年から1863年まで長期にわたって政権を握った。1859~1860年のアフリカ戦争をはじめ、幾たびかの外征を行う一方で、綿工業の発展、鉄道建設ブームによる好景気を利用して、比較的安定した政治を実現した。1865年にふたたび首相となるが、経済危機と進歩派、民主派、民衆などの運動激化に直面して翌年辞任、強硬策をとるナルバエスに政権を譲った。1867年11月5日、フランスのビアリッツで死去。
