1870 swiftly passed, and 1871 followed.
Carlo attended the Spanish Government's meeting summarizing the year 1870 and inquired about the progress on industrial and economic development.
From the government work report submitted by Prime Minister Prim, one can also see the specific differences in Spain's development during the Primor Government and the Provisional Government periods.
During the Provisional Government period, Spain's total railway mileage reached 5,400 kilometers.
This railway mileage figure is not much different from Italy's 5,700 kilometers, although it cannot match the 10,000-kilometer railway mileage of the UK, France, Germany. However, it is still decent.
So the question arises, why did Spain's 5,400 kilometers of railway not lead to the economic takeoff of Spain?
