Canovas was arguably the most important politician of Spain in the late nineteenth century. I have therefore rewritten and expanded this entry which was really just a stub/translation from the Spanish entry (which is itself astonishingly cursory and largely a copyvio). Much more attention should be paid to the post 1885 policies of Canovas, particularly since they led quite directly to the Spanish American War, Cuban independence, etc etc....
