Carlos Bolea is the current Prime Minister of The Kingdom of Spain. He became the new Prime Minister after the death of Primo de Rivera in 1930.

Early Life
Carlos Bolea was born in Santander in 1893 to a poor farming family. After this, not much is known, but he was enrolled in the Toledo Military Academy in 1909, when he was 16. He graduated three years later in 1911.

Military Career
As stated above, he enrolled in the Toledo Military Academy in 1909 and graduated in 1911. He was an average student always performing decently. As soon as he graduated, he was immediately sent to the Rif to fight against the rebels. He was placed under the subordination of Francisco Franco and he fought in several battles, namely Annual and Mellila. In 1922, he was made a general due to his important role in Annual. After the end of the Rif War, he was stationed at Barcelona trying to keep unrest at a minimum due to the rising Catalonian Nationalism and Syndicalist protest. In 1923 erupted in Barcelona and troops under Rivera were dispatched. Rivera ordered Bolea to fired upon the protesters after several Molotov Cocktails were thrown at the troops. Upon the order both contingents, one lead by Bolea and another by Rivera fired upon the rioters. Twenty-two rioters were killed, and the rest of them dispersed. People were outraged, having been misinformed and believed that the troops were the aggressors. Riots sprung up around the nation. Bolea, now subordinated to Rivera helped crush the syndicalist rioters. Later on, Alfonso XIII made Rivera Prime Minister, making the Riveran era start.

The Riveran Era
Carlos Bolea was seen was something of a threat to Rivera, to which he may have been. Bolea was swiftly transferred to Spanish West Sahara. He garrisoned the villages and towns controlled by the Spanish. Other than this, his career in the Riveran Era was very uneventful.

The Bolean Era
Upon the death of Rivera in 1930, Bolea traveled back to Spain with a portion of his army. Hearing of the unrest caused by his death, he began to attack Syndicalist militias and other militant political groups. After crushing the militias he was made Prime Minister by Alfonso XIII. Bolea instituted a secret police, mainly to stop the Syndicalist from taking control and spreading their influence and also to quash any sort of Republican sentiment. Bolea also helped rapidly modernize the Army and Airforce, but neglected the navy. In 1932 he lead several expeditions into Spanish West Africa to gain a firm grip upon the area. Carlos founded several schools to educate the local Africans in Spain's colonies to turn them into Spaniards. In an attempted Syndicalist Revolution in 1935 in Barcelona, Carlos crushed the rebellion and purged many of the leaders that did not flee Spain. Carlos Bolea remains Prime Minister to this day.
