The Commonwealth of Catalonia (Catalan: Mancomunitat de Catalunya, IPA:[məŋkumuniˈtaddəkətəˈluɲə]) was a deliberative assembly made up of the councillors of the four provinces of Catalonia. Promoted in its final stages of gestation by the Regionalist League of Catalonia, it was strongly endorsed by municipal referendum in October 1913.[1]: 8
The Commonwealth was created in 1914 (symbolically the 200th anniversary of the year of the loss of governing institutions independent of the Spanish central administration) and was disbanded and outlawed in 1925 during Miguel Primo de Rivera's dictatorship.[2]
Although it had only administrative functions and its powers did not go beyond those of the provincial councils, it had great symbolic and practical importance: it represented the first recognition by the Spanish State of the identity and territorial unity of Catalonia since 1714.[3][1]: 19 and was responsible for the creation of many public institutions in health, culture and technical education and science and notably for the support of the Catalan language.[1]: 9
