Maura - Antonio Maura y Montaner

Japanese: マウラ - まうら（英語表記）Antonio Maura y Montaner

1853‐1925
Spanish politician. Born in Palma de Mallorca. Elected to the National Assembly in 1881, he became Minister of Colonies under the liberal Prime Minister Sagasta in 1892. He proposed a bill to grant autonomy to Cuba, but resigned when it failed. In 1895, after the Cuban rebellion, he again tried to expand autonomy for the colony as a cabinet member of the liberal government, but the government was short-lived. In May of that year, he gave a speech in the National Assembly entitled "Revolution from Above," which expressed his political philosophy. In 1901, he left the liberal camp, and the following year became Minister of the Interior in the Conservative government.
