In four stages, from August 1914 through October 1918, Berlin used adroit diplomacy and an effective propaganda network to encourage Spain to remain neutral. Conservative politicians, including King Alfonso XIII, feared that participation in the war would unsettle Spain's domestic political structure and, therefore, wanted to remain outside of the maelstrom. ... In contrast to her relations with other major neutrals, Germany conducted a friendly policy toward Spain and avoided a break with Madrid."
