«¿Por qué la República perdió la guerra?» is the historical essay by Stanley G. Payne, published by Booket in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Stanley G. Payne analyses the causes of the Spanish Civil War and the republican defeat. He argues that the Second Republic, proclaimed in 1931, led to a left-wing revolutionary process contrary to real democracy, and that the military uprising of 1936 was not a rebellion against democracy, because it no longer existed.
Translation by José C. Vales. Published in 2011. It falls within the contemporary history of Spain.
A work of historical popularisation for readers interested in the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War.

Stanley G. Payne is an American academic and historian, specialized in the history of modern Spain and European fascist movements at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He retired from full-time teaching in 2004 and is currently Professor Emeritus at its Department of History. His works on the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist period received various estimates: while by the 1980s he had earned the reputation of "America's most prolific historian of Spain", in the 21st century his later works became known for their "revisionist" approach, and received criticism from other historians as overly benevolent towards Falangism and for allegedly spreading Francoist narratives. However, other historians have praised Payne's work in the 21st century. In 2018, Julius Ruiz praised Payne's 2017 work Alcala Zamora and the Failure of the Spanish Republic.
