Juan Carlos - King of Spain/Righ na Spainne

Beatha Juan Carlos, R矛gh na Sp脿inne. Documentary following the life of Juan Carlos using archive footage and exclusive interviews.

Rugadh Juan Carlos, mac r矛gh mu dheireadh na Sp脿inne, anns an R貌imh air an 5mh l脿 den Fhaoilleach 1938. Chaidh e dhan Sp脿inn ann an 1947 airson foghlam 脿rd 矛re. B' e seo a' chiad turas aige anns an d霉thaich.

Anns an aon bhliadhna, chaidh riaghaltas poblachdach na Sp脿inne a chur 脿 bith agus chaidh an Sp脿inn a st猫idheachadh mar mhonarcachd riochdachail. Ann an 1969 chuir Francisco Franco lagh air adhart ag r脿dh gun robh Juan Carlos gu bhith na r矛gh air an Sp脿inn. D脿 l脿 an d猫idh b脿s Franco, ann an 1975, chaidh Juan Carlos ainmeachadh mar r矛gh.

Bha trichead 's a naoi bliadhna aige na r矛gh urramach, ach air an 2mh den t-脪g-mh矛os 2014, leig e seachad an cathair-r矛gh, ag r脿dh gun robh an t-脿m ann 脿ite a thoirt dhan ghinealach 霉r. Tha am pr貌gram seo a' leantainn beatha Juan Carlos tro fiolm agus agallamhan leis an r矛gh fh猫in, ag innse mu na tachartasan eachdraidheil a ghabh 脿ite thairis air na bliadhnaichean a bha e a' riaghladh.

Juan Carlos was born January 5th 1938, in Rome. The son of the last Spanish king, Juan Carlos first visited Spain in 1947 to study. That same year, Spain's republican government was abolished and Spain was declared a representative monarchy.

In 1969, Francisco Franco, a supporter of Spain's monarchy, presented parliament with a law designating Juan Carlos the future king of Spain, and he took the throne two days after Franco's death in 1975. Juan Carlos was a well-respected ruler for 39 years before announcing on June 2nd, 2014 that he would abdicate the throne, saying it was time to hand the country over to "a new generation."

This documentary follows Juan Carlos's life through archive footage and exclusive interviews with the king himself giving his opinion and thoughts to the way history played out.
